United StatesHappy little fig
My fig is growing nicely. I got a small one so I’ll have to wait a year or two for fruit. I’m sure it will hold up well. Thanks for my nice plant.
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.
