So I ordered a hydrangea tree and Fed Ex took way too long to deliver it. The tree was completely cooked when it was delivered. I sent pictures and was immediately given a refund. It was very hot over Labor Day weekend and it took about 5 days to arrive and I had a feeling the tree was going to be damaged by the heat. I will buy from Brighter Blooms again when the weather is milder. read more

Purchased 3 ea of their 5-6 foot Emerald Green Arborvitae in March 2026, only to have 2 die. In prep for shipping, the tree rootballs were cut poorly causing stress on the trees. Once the trees showed stress they were outside the company's 30 day warranty- they replaced 1 tree but it suffered the same pre shipping rootball butchering, and is dying. Brighter Blooms is not taking any responsibility for their poor processing but blames my ivy crowding the ground- meanwhile 5 other Emerald Arborvitae from two different vendors are thriving next to them. Crummy 30 day warranty and poor plant damage from shipping packages make this company a very poor choice. read more

One star is too many One star is too many: Ordered 3 five-foot Autumn Blaze Maples and 2 six-foot Shademaster Honeylocusts: all arrived having had their tops (their apexes) lopped off to fit in the boxes. I suspected they wouldn't grow correctly, and I was later proven correct. A customer service chat had me convinced that it might or might not have started with a live human but definitely ended with an AI agent. Nothing was resolved. An approximately $600 order and a growing season of effort wasted. Btw, during the chat, the agent admitted that it is their standard practice to lop off the apexes of their saplings to fit in shipping boxes. Is that what you want? My advice is to stay away from Bighter Blooms Nursery. read more

I would not advise anyone to buy any shrubs from this unethical company! I ordered two 1 gal Nandina Fire power shrubs received the wrong size, took 9 days to receive them dried leaves pitiful small plants ( 4" to 5 " tall at best ) and paid premium price! On the ad it only showed big shrubs already grown not in the pot stated they were 1 gal which if they had been 1 gal the price would have been fair. Customer service was horrible just kept telling me to plant them and they would grow! My flower bed has mature shrubs and plant can you imagine planting something tjat small how stupid it would look. My final Word is do not BUY FROM Brighter BLOOMS!!!!! read more

Garbage, garbage, garbage. Shipped two trees in a box for 10 days. Very unhealthy looking. Most of the leaves fell of one when I took it out of the box exposing mostly bare branches. The rootball was mostly dry. I contacted them and they said because it was alive, it was a "quality" tree. See the fake language on their website in the photos below. Totally dishonest and would never recommend them to anyone. read more

Disappointed with quality, shipping timing, and unreachable customer support I ordered a Flame Thrower Redbud from Brighter Blooms in spring. It was backordered and I was told to expect shipping in September, but it arrived in July -- the hottest and worst time to plant in my Zone 7 area. The tree is technically 3-4 ft as described and alive, but it arrived looking flimsy, with wilted and dropping leaves. The shipping box was crushed on one side. The worst part: I couldn't reach anyone. Emails bounced, and the toll-free number connected to a medical device ad. I eventually received an acknowledgment, but the whole experience has been frustrating and left me feeling scammed for the price I paid. I hope the tree survives, but based on quality and service, I wouldn't recommend ordering from Brighter Blooms. read more

I would never order from Brighter Blooms Nursery again. The plants arrived in terrible condition--wilted, weak, and nothing like the photos on their website. Customer service was unhelpful and dismissive when I reached out for a resolution, making me feel like they simply didn't care once they had my money. For a company that markets itself as providing "high-quality" plants, the reality couldn't be further from the truth. Save yourself the frustration and shop elsewhere. read more

I have apple and peach tree from this place and they both don't give any fruits, after 4 years no fruit at all

Three strikes and you're out! I ordered three trees from this company (AKA Fast Growing Trees) and none of them made it. The first one never came out of dormancy in the spring. The second one died the first season and the third limped along throughout the summer and never came back in the spring. I followed all instructions with planting, fertilizing and watering with no success. I did buy a one year warranty for the third tree but unfortunately, I ordered it in the spring and when I realized that it wasn't going to bloom the following spring, it was too late to file a claim. I now have a thriving tree which I purchased at a local nursery and I'm sorry that I didn't take that route from the beginning. I feel like I wasted three years of establishing a healthy tree in my front yard. read more

I got my christmas tree from this place which is at 2621 Old Nation Rd and it was delivered, dropped off with no knock or ring of the doorbell. When I opened the box and got the tree unroped it was terribly bare. For the price they charge they should not be sending trees in this shape at all. You don't get a 2nd chance to ruin Christmas. read more

VERY easy to work with and provided beautiful trees (a pomegranate and an avocado) within two days of ordering. Looking forward to working with them again and they are highly recommended. read more

Fast-growing-trees.com and Bright Blooms are the same company. Even if our tree is free don't ever give them an email or phone number. They spam your email multiple times a day from different addresses. And even worse sell your phone number to spammers. read more

READ THE FINE PRINT! If your tree arrives basically dead, as mine did, you have only 30 days to contact and request a replacement. You won't even know if the tree is alive yet, but you must act now and fast. Of course they will "sell" you a warranty to cover the time it may take for a live tree to sprout, but that is extra. The pricing was a bit better than my local nursery, but by the time you add in the relative charges, I will never order trees online again. read more

Its impossible to get in touch with these people after you place order. I have waited on hold for hours, literally. I have asked for call back, I've waited days for that. So, either these people are incompetent or dishonest. Either way I don't recommend ordering from them. They charged my credit card but have never confirmed the order or provided an estimate on delivery. Can you imagine if you have a problem? They'll just ignore the customer. Go elsewhere. read more

Had ordered a couple plants previously, condition was poor (shothole fungus) but they seem to have recovered. However, was excited to get a flyer offering 15% off plus free shipping on new orders. Shipping is not cheap! However, when I tried to order some new plants, turns out the free shipping is only for orders over $149 - not mentioned on the flyer. I just think this is kind of sleazy, and since I have other options I won't return. read more

I guess common sense should have warned me against trying to ship "live" trees across country in a box. Of the three trees I ordered, two came back OK, but I failed to contact Fast-Growing-Trees.com (Brighter Blooms) within their allowed timeframe. Who knew I was wasting $70, when I could have bought the same tree from a local supplier for $100 and known it was alive, fully leafed, and well. Lesson learned. If you are going to ship bare trees in a box, you should at least guarantee that they will grow, period. read more

Oh my what a rip off. I ordered two avocado trees and one arrived very droopy but I did not worry because of the 30 day warranty. Well a week later all the leaves were dead brown but Brighter Blooms refused to honor the warranty so I wasted $80 on a dead tree. They even offered to reinstate my warranty for $45 but that felt like extortion and I wouldn't give a nickel to a company I cannot trust. Don't patronize companies that rip off consumers. They sooner this company dies the better for gardeners and legitimate companies. read more

Ordered 3 trees. One of the trees showed up snapped in half. Made the call and it was replaced within a week or so...all good right?! No. Planted all 3 trees exactly as outlined in the instructions and all 3 dead and completely dried out within weeks. Call back and i'm instructed that i didn't pay $75 for the warranty. Its a scam to get everyone to buy a warranty. I'd not recommend you buy from these people at all. Waste of money and subpar products! Attempts to resolve are now being ignored. read more

They mail ordered me dead plants. When I sent photos of the dead plants and asked for a refund they suggested I take three weeks to perform a miraculous resurrection and then maybe get in touch again after they have enjoyed laughing all the way to the bank. Very disreputable business. read more
