Me encanta / I LOVE it!!!

The little fig tree was very conscientiously, thoroughly and well packaged. It arrived promptly, with adequate moisture in the surrounding soil, and its leaves all looked vibrant and healthy. I'm so excited to witness the growth and sprawling branches that may potentially develop.

Way smaller than customer pics or examples of other plants in quart containers

Seems healthy, but smaller than expected. Time will tell.

Hello! Thank you for your feedback. Plant size varies widely depending on the variety that you purchase and the time of year. The important thing when it comes to purchasing plants, is that they have a full, robust root system, and that's what we prioritize in our growing. The more roots a plant has, the more energy it can put into growing once it is planted in your garden. Happy Gardening!
