United StatesOne 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.
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.
