Great Fig Tree

It wasn't as big as I was hoping (big tree lottery feeling), but it actually came with almost 20 figs on it, and the stock was relatively thick at the bottom. It grew straight, and I like how it's almost perfectly shaped. The tree I bought from Perfect Plants is on the right. I grew the one on the left from 8" about 6 months ago (bought at a big box). Seems like the one from Perfect Plants has better genes, as they both sit in 20 gallon containers and get water/fed at the same rate/amount. A little expensive for a fig plant, but no regrets. This tree definitely grew in me lI had to... haha).
