I was so surprised how well the little trees were packed and how well they did in shipping.
They are beautiful little trees and I am looking forward to eating my own figs soon!
Thanks for a great product.

Ordered one for outside during warm months and 4-season porch during Minnesota cold. Arrived nicely packaged and quite healthy seems to be doing just fine outside in full sun.
9-08 update: Holy cow I have figs! My little plants is now 3+ feet tall and has 12-14 green fruit. Awesome for year one.

Strong, rapid growth and requires litte attention. Seems bug-resistant which is good since I live in south Texas/
Given it's very small upon receipt, the growth rate is remarkable.
