United StatesMy first fig tree
When my tree arrived I was a little worried. It had a lot of leaves that were rusty and this being my first fig tree I didn't know if it was fungus, pests, or stress. I repotted it and removed most of the leaves that were not well, and ever since she's grown many more beautiful new leaves! I would buy more plants from you for sure seeing how well Figgie Smalls bounced back.
United StatesChicago Hardy Fig Tree
The tree showed up in pretty bad shape. Leaves were brown, it didn't look healthy at all. The trip here to Aurora , Co. was pretty rough on it I think. It traveled across the country in all the excessive heat on a dark hot truck .With some tender loving care, it is beginning to show signs of growth, in only two weeks. I have faith it will do just fine and become the "perfect plant" and addition to my garden. I have it in a large pot. So that I can move it around and take it with us to our new home in the future, where it will find it's place in a permanent setting. I have pictures I would love to submit. Not sure how to send them though.
United StatesDidn't last through the winter
Last spring I purchased this tree. It arrived without problem and it did wonderful all season. However, as everything started leafing out this spring.....our little fig was not showing new growth. I went to check some the branches amd all were bone dry. I live in Missouri and our winter was actually pretty warm in comparison to other winters. I thought this tree would not need to be brought in doors for winter..... but maybe I was wrong. Disappointed our poor little tree didn't make it through the winter.
United StatesGreat 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).
