Description

Greetings !!!

Up for auction is this rooted cutting of Gentile. A really nice and rare large green fig with a delicious rich berry flavored interior.

My name is Dan Foster.   I’ve been growing figs for about 8 years now and it’s become a passion of mine that I hope you’ll find to be as rewarding as I have.   My goal when I began this obsession was to grow and taste as many varieties as I can to find the best tasting figs for my area.   This is still true today.   

I’m in Zone 6B and I don’t try to grow them in the ground.   All my varieties are grown in large upright containers on drip irrigation.   All the fruit pictures that I use are my own.  My pictures aren’t altered in any way that changes the look of the fruit to make it seem more appealing.   I use my Iphone 8 usually on the day that I ripen the first fig for that variety for each season.   You can also find me on Facebook and Ourfigs fig forum.

All of my figs should be assumed to have been exposed in some way to FMV Fig Mosaic Virus.    This is common in the growing of common figs.  When young, figs will often show more severe symptoms, but most of the time many of them grow out of this as long as good growing and fertilizing practices are in place.

You will receive the exact plant that is photographed.  They are grown in a TP38 Stuewe & Sons Tree-pot along with a professional growing mix.  They should have a very nice root system and should rebound from transplanting easily.

Once transplanted, I think it’s always a good idea to place the newly planted tree in a shadier location for a week just to make sure it can recover adequately to its new environment.   This is especially true when replanting in a southern location or when the temperatures are above 80.

My growing operation has been inspected by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and I’m licensed to ship to all 50 States. Included with this inspection is a Certificate of Quarantine Compliance in accordance with the U.S. Domestic Japanese Beetle Harmonization Plan.  I will only ship inside the continental U.S.   Send me a message if you have any questions. I will combine shipping if multiple auctions are won in the same week.  I usually use a 20x4x4 box and can combine shipping as follows up to 4 figs.   I use USPS Priority shipping.   I try to ship out ‪Monday morning‬, although sometimes I have to wait ‪until Tuesday‬.  I don’t usually see messages from PayPal or eBay after auctions are won asking me to wait to ship. The faster your invoice is paid, the faster I can get your plants out. Combined shipping is available with multiple auctions being won through FigBid within the same day.

 

1 Fig:   $15.00

2 Figs: $20.00

3 Figs: $25.00

4 Figs: $30.00

 

Thank you for your support and happy figging!!!!!

Return Policy
Dan Foster has a rock solid return policy. In the rare instance that you are not satisfied, please let me know immediately and I'll make it right with a refund or exchange. Please understand that I do my best to correct shipping delays and lost packages but those issues are out of our control.Shipping Live Plants is always a tricky endeavor. I strive to carefully pack and ship your plants with care but, they are live plants, and sometimes it gets hot! If you don't have a safe place out of direct sun and heat to receive your packages, please reconsider ordering from me until the weather is favorable or be willing to take on your share of the risk. If you have a plant that you received and it's not doing well, please carefully unpack and water it. Place in a cool shady spot and plant it up if possible. Figs are resilient! Many times figs will shed some leaves as a response to being in a box, but will form new leaves within a few weeks. If you're plant dies due to shipping stress, I will refund after 30 days or situationally. Please send me photos and work with me on a resolution. Please take pictures of packaging and plant if it arrives damaged, be prepared to present this packaging to your local post office as part of their claims process.When it comes to striped figs that do not fruit with stripes: If you get sporadic striping its best to prune the solid portion out of the way, which will encourage the striped wood to prevail. Rigato Del Salento and Paratjal Rimada are good examples of this. If you get all solid fruits, take a picture of the fruit as it's growing on the whole plant and send it to me. If the plant has reverted completely, I will make it right. I can send a replacement or offer a refund. I don't expect anyone to pay a high dollar amount for a striped fig only to have it fruit solid green. Not many others will offer this guarantee, but I understand the beauty of striped figs and also know that they can be finicky. I want you to be happy with what you receive from me.
