GET A HEAD START!!! YOU WONT BE SORRY!!

A MUST HAVE VARIETY!!!

For auction in a 24oz cup SMITH.One of the most likely best figs on the planet is this AUTHENTIC BENCEL FAMILY SMITH.I accidentally spelled BENCEL as Benchel on the photos.This was brought to my attention by another collector.I never picked up my mistake.This is a very healthy plant.The root system is forming beautifully.I was extremely lucky enough to acquire my Authentic BENCEL Family Smith fig tree from a Louisiana native.He goes back a ways enough to know relatives of the BENCEL Family,Roy Young and many others in Louisiana.My tree set a ton of figs last summer.It might have been the most productive variety in 2018 for me along with my Adam variety.Also one of the best tasting too.It also grows like a weed.The terrible weather here in the northeast in 2018 made no difference to this rough and tumble beauty.I have heard people say Smith is an ugly fig.They must not have the real MaCoy.This variety also has a long shelf life to ripen late figs in the refrigerator.Lets not forget growers from California show awesome figs.They have the FIG WASP TO POLLINATE THEIR TREES.The wasp is not an option here in NYC.This is actually my very first Smith.Boy was I missing out.I did get a few small cuttings of an authentic BENCEL  Family Smith in 2017 from NYCfigs (Danny).At the end of the 2017 Staten Island Fig Festival.Dan gave me a few small cuttings.The best cuttings were given to attendees.I did get 2 to take.They died in my garage over that cold 2017 winter.I thought I would never get another authentic Smith again.I just got lucky meeting these folks though fig buying and then swapping.I now know why their is so much hype over this variety.Getting it from the source makes it that much more exciting.Its extremely hardy in every way and I will put this variety against anything out there.I assume all figs have or have been exposed to FMV.Your plant will ship priority mail 1-3 day delivery.The plant you see is the plant you will receive.
