Not what I expected

May 9, 2015 | By Jeanie

Was thinking I would get a substantial plant. I received a1 ft tall stick in a pot. It's in the ground and we'll see what developes. Ordered a nectarine and it was 3ft tall with branches. More like what I was hoping for. Also ordered blueberry bushes and they are beautiful! They actually bloomed just days after arrival. All in all good review. Just hope the fig tree does something.

Brown Turkey Fig

Apr 28, 2015 | By Renee O

Plant arrived this spring (2015) well packaged. Small but VERY strong, thick, healthy main trunk. Arrived with 3 small leaves after one month full of leaves and growing. Very happy with this purchase!!! Would love to see more varieties for sale.

not impressed so far

Dec 30, 2014 | By chuck

received in spring of 2014 ,planted in 5 gal pot ,did not die ,but did not grow either,stayed real small ,i plan on putting it in ground this spring and go with winter protection for winter of 2015,it is in a insulated shed with controlled heat now with my other good growing trees.we will see i have to rate high because it has survived and stayed alive.

died with - 17 degree weather

These trees were doing beautifully until we had last winters extraordinarily cold weather. Had only been planted 18 months ago otherwise they might have survived. They seemed like very nice trees and bared fruit early!
