LSU Purple Fig - Ficus carica by Wellspring Gardens - Sweet Fig Tree - Fruit Producer - Medium-Sized Figs - Glossy Dark Purple Skin - Self-Pollinating - Ornamental Fruit Tree - Mediterranean Delight

A small plant and very healthy arrived in great condition.

When I received this new tree it was just a little stick with no leaves and little green shoots on the top and of the tree. The shoots had not opened but it looked opened. Once I got it situated on my patio the little tree now has leaves and is doing very well.

Fig arrived in excellent condition along with a mulberry plant from the same seller. I can’t say that of many plants I have received from other sellers.It’s been under a grow light from day one and it’s grown considerably. I’ll keep it under the light through the winter until I plant in the spring.PS- fig is on the right. Mulberry on the left.

I like that it’s actually a live plant and not seeds. I also like that the instruction stated to water now.

While plants arrived healthy, they were miniature sized. 1 or 2 stems in each plant, comparable to a tooth pick size. These plants they are selling would be more befitting to Gulliver's Island. I am amazed how they even got a living plant out of such small clipping. While the dimensions shown in the picture are true. But photos are misleading. THey give the imression that plants are stronger and healthier It would take at least a decade or two for these plants to turn into fruit bearing status. At about $18.00 a piece, this is a HIGHWAY robbery. This is my 2nd most disappointment thrroughout 10+ years of my Amazon shopping.

The ad they give shows 3 to 4 medium to big sized fig leaves that are bigger than the size of the pot but as you can see from the picture they are absolutely tiny. Not completely upset given the price for 2 of these varieties but definitely not a tree or a cutting, more like twigs with minimal root growth.

The figs were well packaged - as advertised.

So tiny I'm not certain will survive summer heat. Praying will survive. We love figs.
