Ciliegia Dolce Authentic Italian Fig Tree in 1 Gallon Pot

The tree you see is the tree you will receive with a nicely grown out root system.  The tree was rooted 10/28/2018 and up potted 12/15/2018.

I do combine shipping if you win multiple auctions IF you wait for an invoice BEFORE paying.  Payment is expected no later than 12 hours of invoice.

See all my trees on auction here.

The tree is greenhouse grown and should be acclimated to direct light slowly.  Due to the cold temps, shipping may be slightly delayed.  If you receive a damaged box, please take a couple of pictures before opening, and take a couple of pictures of the tree so I may provide proper support.

I added the Ciliegia Dolce a few years ago from a friend of a friend who found 3 of these trees on his property in CT and invited me over to take a peak. He reached out to the previous land owner who explained the back story. Apparently, the great grandfather brought it over from Southern Italy as it was a family heirloom. He had a near impossible time rooting it, and lost all his cuttings but one. The story went on where the next year he was trimming it, and he shoved some of the cuttings in the ground. Fast forward 100 years, and there are now three large trees in the ground.

I don't know how true the story is, but this is what was told to me.  I provide a more detail history and other reviews on discussion forums (Read the full story here).

The fig is not over bearing with sweetness, and has a wonderful fig-cherry flavor just as the name suggests, with a hint of grape-sweetness. The tree is also cold hardy, surviving in ground in zone 7, up here in CT.  The current owner does not wrap these. The figs I've harvested last year were over 22 grams.

I add this note to all my generational figs:

One thing amazing about figs brought over by generational immigrants to consider: the immigrants are leaving their mother land forever. They bring whatever they can schlep. Yet, they bring a fig tree which I believe must have such a unique and savory flavor to them they cannot buy here in the United States. Moreover, I would like to think it's their way of bringing some of their old home roots to their new start. I love collecting and sharing these family heirlooms as I believe there is nothing more authentic, and each one has their own story. 

KNOW YOUR SELLER - There are a lot of people selling fig tree and tree cuttings that are NOT what they represent.  Sadly, you will not know until a year or 2 later where you will have no recourse.  Simple searches on the internet of usernames can prevent this.

I am Nunuorig on OurFigs.com discussion forum. 

All my trees are treated with Neem Oil, Sevin, and/or Malathion to prevent the cause and/or spread of FMV.  However, I assume all my plants have been exposed to Fig Mosaic Virus (FMV).

I will try and ship on Monday or Tuesday after the auctions closes based off USPS estimated days for deliver AND as long as payment is received.
