Description

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.

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.
