Dall'Oso (Belfiore) Tree

You can find my blog at FigBoss.com - I am Ross Raddi on YouTube

Variety being offered: Dall'Oso -- DOES NOT Require Pollination

Handling Instructions: This tree is in a 1g sized pot and is an rooted cutting that was taken from Mother tree this spring. While this tree is hardened off to my outdoor conditions, yours may be drastically different. I suggest taking the time to slowly adjust it to your sunlight hours/intensity, humidity and your overall environment upon arrival. After a couple days... up pot it carefully, water it in and feed well. Watch this video for full instructions: https://youtu.be/8J_QNoGgwJU

The tree photographed is the tree that you will receive. I will only sell the strongest and healthiest trees that I currently have available. I am shipping the following Monday after the auction ends. I will ship to anywhere in the US. Just know that on rare occasions that trees going into California or Hawaii can be inspected. In that scenario, your tree will most likely be held over the weekend and delivered the following week.

Thank you & feel free to ask me any questions.

Varietal Info: This is a fig that Belfiore nursery in Italy believes to be the original Dall'Oso depicted in Gallesio's drawing. I personally have no idea if that's true, but I value this variety for other reasons. It's a keeper with layered complex flavors because of it's uniquely reddish-brown shaded pulp. In 2021, my in ground tree is maturing. It's quite impressive. I am very much so looking forward to fruits off this one to see the differences in quality. End of 2021 update: The fig changed quite a bit from prior years. After planting it in the ground, the stem, neck and shape is very different! Much more impressive now that it has an elongated shape. This fig is a good producer, early, rain resistant and tastes good to boot. Among my best varieties for sure. I highly recommend it for a wide variety of climates.
