Description

The tree you see is the tree you will receive.


See all my trees on auction here.


This fig is a MUST HAVE for those that love eating fresh figs. These figs are decent in flavor. However, what really makes these figs special are the size. 105 grams on the first fig I picked! The name of these figs should be the Bronx Bomber. 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!
 
Recently, I had shared the story of the Astoria Green fig, where the mother tree of this variety came from my friends 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 friends' family leave it in ground, but do cover it here in zone 7.
 
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.

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.


Payment is expected no later than 12 hours of invoice.

I do combine shipping if you win multiple auctions IF you wait for an invoice BEFORE paying.


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 Forbid, 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 right 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.  


Shipping to confirmed addresses of the continental United States only.  If you live in California and have interest in this tree, please send me a message.  Otherwise, no shipping to California, Hawaii, and Alaska.  Know your state's laws and rules on receiving plant material prior to bidding.  Buyer accepts responsibility on shipping to buyer's state.


If you receive a damaged cutting due to shipping or are unhappy with the cuttings, PLEASE email me. Customer satisfaction is PARAMOUNT.  


Sorry, no international shipping!

Return Policy
If you receive a damaged item or are unhappy with the purchase, please email me.  I believe that CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IS ESSENTIAL! As with all reputable sellers, I try to carefully pack cuttings and plants to protect them during shipping.  If there is any damage to the package upon receipt, please take a picture or two showing the damage to the unopened package with the label visible with the tracking ID.  If you would prefer, you can refuse shipping, write "Return to Sender: DAMAGED" on the outside of the unopened package, and return it to the vendor for inspection.  The delivery service is supposed to send the package back to me documented with the damage.  Upon confirmation of the damage, I will issue a complete refund. Due to the varying shipping environments, the package may not look great upon receipt.  If you do not wish to send it back, please remove and inspect the item right away.  Please take a picture or two and email me with any concerns.  I will provide replacements or 100% refunds up to a week after delivery, as long as the condition is documented with me upon receipt.  You may need to bring the cutting and original shipping package to the post office for inspection.  Please do contact me ASAP so I may assist with the process.
