Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has bought trees from http://www.fast-growing-trees.com? I was interested in getting some evergreens from them. Do you recommend them?
Thanks,
J

I have not ordered from them but live in the Evergreen State! We are slowly removing them all from our yard due to becoming allergic to them. Are you looking for something specific? We have a lot of seedlings that pop up.

Hi karma_Happy_Toes,
Greetings from New England! :D I was interested in buying a few Cryptomeria Radicans (Japanese cedar) to make a privacy screen. What kind of evergreens do you have on your property?
Thanks,

We had several Thuja and a couple variegated cypress. We have seen folks here plant them so close together when they grow up there is no room. You have selected a good one to grow. Don't believe the site about not being allergic to the thuja, I break out in a nice rash this this one.

Nope they are off the huge pines out back but I can check to see if those have cones/seeds. They are easy to start in the fall from cuttings. We do cuttings all the time for folks.
Some where I have seeds from our huge cedar that came down if you want some.

Thank you for your generosity. I'm still not sure what I want to do yet. I'm still leaning toward Japanese trees. I'll keep you in mind though.
Thanks again,
