Customer Reviews for Online Orchards Dwarf Fuji Apple Tree Bare Root

Soaked and potted it the day it arrived along with the two others (Braeburn and Honeycrisp). Still waiting for it to bud/leaf out. Only the Braeburn leafed out and that was two weeks ago. Also questioning what variety of apple trees I did get. Only the Braeburn was labeled, the other two were not. The paint id markings on both the unlabeled are exactly the same leading me to believe they are the same , but what variety.

I've seen photos that other people have bee posting... Even the reviewer who mentioned their tree looked nothing like the photo had a leg up on me. I basically received a stick (pictured). It has been 4 weeks since I received it and planted it. I have been giving it low doses of root fertilizer, and have been watering it daily, but nothing seems to be happening. There is no new growth, the "tree" looks absolutely nothing like the photos. The "tree" (yes I keep putting it in quotes) has no new growth and does not appear to be alive. When I did the scratch test, there was no green growth underneath, only dead bark. Other reviewers mentioned that theirs had been pruned inappropriately. I received a similar item. I see more recent purchases being reviewed, that look alive and well. What I received, is/was/dead... Why would you ship a dead branch? Unacceptable -

Received the tree before schedule, the tree is in a very good condition, it came with a clear planting and care guide, only a few weeks and it grows some green leaves, very happy, I would recommend it.

Arrive earlier than expected, well packed and roots look perfectly healthy. Leaves start growing in 2 weeks. Can’t wait to see and taste the fruit! Thanks

I received the dwarf Fuji Apple Tree "Bare Root" about 3 weeks ago. It is now growing new leaves. When you receive the Fuji Apple, be patient to see new growth. For the first 2 weeks I didn't see any growth and was worried it was a dead tree. After a few weeks I began seeing new leaves bud. Don't give up on the tree if you don't see new growth right away. Give it a few weeks and you will start to see new growth. I am glad I purchased it.

I got this dwarf fuji few weeks ago bare root tree. After 3 weeks it started growing and producing leaves. I'm so happy and can't wait for the fruits.

i Bought two types of apple because most apple don’t pollinate themselves after 3 weeks of planting look at them now

Tree arrived in dormantstate. Soaked the root for 2 days. Planted it and within 2 weeks buds started to appear on all of the branches, with in 3 weeks leaves started to come out. It appears to be doing well.

Started seeing leaves in just 5 days of planting. Let's hope it'll give me the fruits now in a couple of years

Ordered a dozen trees, via from Home Depot, from the Online Orchards vendor. I've planted many apple and fruit trees over the years, including bare root online trees from other vendors. When the trees arrived they were dry and fragile. The leaves that were on the trees were dried up and off in the boxes. Rather than going through the hassle of trying to find boxes to return the trees I figured I would see if they would survive. So after just one season, nine are dead. All planting directions were followed, other fruit trees planted at the same time, did well in the same planting area. Trying to get through to someone to ask about a refund / replacement has been impossible. Hoping the company reaches out directly before I'm tempted to write a reveiw for each of the nine dead trees.

I got my Fuji apple tree today and about died laughing (look at the photo and you will too). All of the branches on one side of the tree had been removed. ALL of them. I couldn't figure out why they'd send a tree like that. I examined the area where the branches used to be and noticed fresh-looking cuts. Then it hit me. Too cheap to use a larger box to mail it, they chopped off the branches so it would fit in the cheaper box. Then, there's the roots. Look pretty good in the photo, right? You'll be lucky to get half the rootball and don't count on any of those large roots being among them. I waited almost two hours on hold to speak with customer service. Apparently UPS is their preferred shipper and they will pick up the tree from "within 5 to 7 days." Can you imagine what the tree will look like -- bare root and in a box -- for more than a week? If I weren't so angry with the nursery who sells this tree through Home Depot I might feel sorry for them. Not only that, she informed me that UPS will not knock on my door when they come to pick it up. I was instructed to leave it on my porch. During a pandemic. When people are flat broke and porch pirating like crazy, I am to leave a HUGE box (quite tempting) on my porch for a week. And I paid the full price for this joke of a tree -- the sale hadn't started yet. Don't waste your money.

Got for Christmas and Planted 3 weeks ago. Has new sprouts and looking real good

Unfortunately, the Fuji bare-root tree I purchased never came back to life. This was the first time I've ordered a fruit tree from Online Orchards and thought I'd give it a try, because I'd planted a Honey Crisp apple tree and it needed a nearby companion pollinator. It arrived promptly and likewise I planted it promptly. Actually, I planted it the following day after it arrived late in the afternoon the previous day. I soaked the roots for a couple of hours in water and then planted it in a large hole using a mix of packaged/native soil, just like I've planted all my other fruit trees that have flourished. I also installed a vole barrier. I watered it routinely, but it never came to life. I've waited close to three weeks for a hint of green. I will attempt to get a refund.

I ordered the tree online and it arrived broken in half

The plan t is in very poor condition, I am not sure if it will survive. I grew some leaves but now young leaves are dying.

arrived in sad shape, hope it lives

My Bare root trees arrived today, carefully packed. I was surprised that there were leaves on the trees and soil was moist. I got them soaking for planting.

Terrible quality Should probably get a refund for this item

The apple tree does not have enough leaves yet

this tree never grew. it stayed In the ground a while year and now has failed the scratch test.
