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..
Up for auction is the Moscatel Branco (MK variety) Portuguese Fig Tree.
These pictures were taken May 22, 2018 of the actual tree you will receive.
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 sellers usernames can prevent this.
I am Nunuorig on online fig discussion forums. I have provided a full back story and more pictures of the mother tree and figs on these forums.
The first 2 pictures are of the fig tree you will receive.
The 3rd, 4th, and 5th picture are of a fig we picked last fall with the fig coming in at nearly 40 grams!
The owner of the mother tree immigrated from Lisbon Portugal about 17 years ago and brought this tree with him. As you can see by the pictures, this tree grew very well here in zone 7.
Picture 6 is of the mother tree in Spring 2017, 8th picture is preparing it for winter, with the last picture of the tree wrapped for winter.
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. Personally, I love collecting these family heirlooms as I believe there is nothing more authentic.
The mother tree has shown no signs of FMV. However, I assume all fig tree's have been exposed to Fig Mosaic Virus (FMV).
I will ship on Monday after the auctions closes as long as payment is received.
