Description
You are bidding on the plant in the first four photos. Sangue Dolce was grafted onto an unknown rimada fig tree in the summer of 2018. The unknown was rooted in winter 2017-18.  SD is said to be very difficult to root. Thus most plants are grafted.
 
Sangue Dolce is a very high quality fig according to Wills in FL. Wills got it from Dom in MA a retired NYC detective. Dom got if from Italy as an unknown. Dom thought it was the best of 300 varieties he had collected. Sangue Dolce means sweet blood in Italian. I tasted fruit in January 17-18 and was impressed. It tasted somewhat like blueberries. I received my plant from Wills in mid October and ripened figs in January that set after the plant arrived. It is a precocious and vigorous variety.
 
The graft union for this fig is near soil level under the budding rubbers. The plant was grafted and rooted at the same time. The budding rubbers will provide some support during shipping. But they should probably be removed once the plant is in it's final position. That will avoid any chance of constricting growth. The graft union should be pretty strong by now.
 
My plants have been growing rapidly. So despite my best efforts they have outgrown my boxes. This might require cutting back the top to fit in a 24 inch box. In addition upon arrival some of the leaves will be crumpled up and bent. Upon arrival the media should be watered heavily. After that frequent watering will be necessary. Up potting soon is recommended. The plants have been in about 50% sun. So gradual acclimation to full sun is advised. 
 
I assume that all of my figs have been exposed to FMV.
 

Combined shipping is offered. If you win more than one auction wait for an invoice that reflects combined shipping.
