One tough tree

Excellent choice! In Northern New Mexico it dropped to 24F a few days after planting it in April. All the new growth froze and the tree went bare but a few months later it started growing new leaves again and now after being planted 4 1/2 months it is healthy and bearing its first fruit.

Happy 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.

My 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.

Chicago 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.
