Vasilika Sika Belleclare is a variety that was distributed  by the Belleclare Nursery, which has long ago closed down.   The figs are quite large and yellow skinned with deep red jammy pulp.  The fig is quite sweet and has a delicious berry flavor.  There is at least one other fig called Vasilika Sika which is  possibly the correct Vasilika Sika from Greece.  Harvey thinks the Belleclare one is actually Stella or Dalmatie, which are both very good figs as well...so don't discount this fig just because of a naming issue.   If you like big jammy sweet berry figs, this is a good choice.

I am offering a well rooted cutting of Vasilika Sika Belleclare, healthy and growing in a tree pot out doors, under shade cloth.  This tree has great foliage, and form and should be very productive.  This is a new addition to my collection and I have not ripened fruit yet.   I am offering for sale an extra rooted cutting.   In an effort to raise and sell the best quality possible, I am always careful to source my cuttings or trees from well know, reputable sellers who have verified their varieties, and I keep great records of my sources.

Upon receipt, please acclimate your new fig tree gradually to the new environment by keeping it out of direct sunshine but in bright ambient light for a minimum of a week or more.  If it is showing no signs of stress, you can gradually increase the sun exposure and up pot to a 3 or 5 gallon pot.   This tree is presently living outdoors, under shade cloth and has not been exposed to direct sunlight. 

USPS is taking considerably longer to deliver to select parts of the country  so I have switched to UPS, and I'm happy with the results..  I will package your tree with care to ensure a safe delivery.  Please make arrangements on your end to ensure the package is not left sitting in the hot sun, and that you open immediately and water if needed.  The tracking information will be provided.  I do offer a combined shipping discount.  If the combined shipping does not automatically adjust on your invoice, please message me for the adjustment prior to payment.  If you live locally to me and wish to pick up your tree in person, please request that the shipping charge be removed prior to payment.

If you are a Calif resident and wish to bid on this listing, you must accept full responsibility should the package be confiscated.  Please know your state's agricultural import restrictions!

Shipping only to the lower 48 states.  Not shipping to Calif, Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico or Internationally due to agricultural regulations

Feel free to message with any questions and thanks for looking and bidding!
