I also accept Zelle. All items purchased will be prioritized by payment first (not transaction time). Trees will be packed the night prior to shipping. I only ship on the first Friday after the auction, or the following Monday and Tuesday. In example, if you make a purchase on Sunday, the soonest the tree will ship is that Friday. Based on destination, the tree may ship after that Friday, on Monday or Tuesday..
The tree you see is the tree you will receive with a nicely grown out root system. The tree was rooted 11/16/2018 and up potted 1/10/2019.
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.
This is a MUST HAVE for those that love eating fresh figs. These figs are decent in flavor. The size of these figs however, is what makes this tree so special. 105 grams of the first fig I picked! The name of these figs should be the Bronx Bombers. These bombs come out around the 2nd to 3rd week of August, and keep coming through October, here in Zone 7. The mother tree provides plenty of fruit all season long -- AND the figs are HUGE!
I had shared the story of the Astoria Green fig on OurFigs.com, where the mother tree came from my friend's family who migrated from Italy roughly 60 years ago. Well the cousin of the same family migrated 5 years earlier and moved to Bronx, NY - hence the Bronx Special. My friend's family leaves it in ground, but they do cover it here in zone 7.
Read the full story here.
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.
I only ship USPS to confirmed addresses.
Paypal only.
