I was excited to order Royal Empress tree after Oprah talked it up as being such a wonderful tree. This tree is rated for my "zone" which means temperature etc would be ok for where I live. So i ordered from Fast-Growing-Trees (this occurred in 2006).

Fast-Growing-Trees advertised that this tree would be between 6 inches and 24 inches when delivered. Well, it was 2 and 1/2 inches tall when it arrived. Now i was skeptical but decided to plant the tree and follow the directions exactly. I even used the special fertilizer tablet they shipped with the tree.

Fast-Growing-Trees says this tree typically grows more 5 feet per year and many customers have reported the tree growing 15 feet in one year. I can testify that this tree didn't grow more than 10 inches in 2 years. Hardly looks like a tree, it is more the size of a weed, almost looks more like some sort of weed than a tree.

Yes, I was scammed out of $20. Don't waste your money. I did not bother attempting to get my money back from such a disreputable online retailer. I consider the lost $20 as the tuition to the school of hard-knocks. Lesson learned. Do your research first. Check RipOffReport.com first. Learn from others mistakes. Learn from my mistake. Don't get taken.

Buying trees online seems ludricrous now. From now on, I will always go to a nursery where I can see the actual tree I'm getting before I plunk down my hard-earned cash.
