Online Fig Distributors

[COGardener]

I thought it would be a nice to have a running list of web sites that sell Fig Trees. Every time I think I have seen them all, someone posts another one. So lets get them all into one place, I will update this post until the edit button is gone then a moderator will have to do it. Please add any you know and like to the list, along with the unknowns and the places to avoid.

These are in no particular order

Removing the term trusted. Everyone should do their own due diligence and if you are planning on ordering just ask on the board for members experiences for a given seller. We will still warn our members if we feel a website may be dishonest.

Scott, I'm away from home and on my iPhone but I have a bunch of saved links on my computer, I'll try to add them next week. Three that come to mind are Durio's Nursery in LA, Almost Eden, and Edible Landscaping in VA.

[COGardener]

Added Ed, those are great, thank you! I'm amazed on how many sites don't show up in the search engines.

[pppldj]

I believe you have florida hills under the wrong heading. They have way too many negative reviews to be under a "Trusted" heading. I see that they have a lot of positive reviews also. I wouldn't trust them.

[COGardener]

I knew this would be an issue so added a 50/50 listing, some are happy others not. Personally I rarely pay attention to online reviews, they are almost only from unhappy people and usually they are unhappy do to their own mistake and want to blame someone else.

Either way, I personally have not seen anything negative on the forums about Florida Hills, not saying that there is not any just that I don't recall any.

[WillsC]

For the record I DO NOT TRUST Florida Hill. Not only did he send out a bunch of plants that were not the variety he claimed he also pushed his own website on another forum and claimed up and down that he had no connection to them until it was proved he in fact was the owner of Florida Hill......

[pppldj]

Wills, I remember reading about that situation. There are too many good sources of plant material available for me to ever support anyone who stoops to those levels. There is nothing that i want that badly.
I refuse to knowingly support or contribute to those of that nature.

[Mgorski]

I have bought citrus trees from Four Winds Growers that were very nice plants.

Mike in Hanover, VA. Zone 7a

[Rafaelissimmo]

I second Mike's comment, they are gold standard for dwarf citrus.

[Phiggy]

Me too! Very happy with them!

[dkirtexas]

Getting everyone to agree on a list is at best "tough" How do you weight the responses? Is 90% good acceptable?, only to those 90%, the 10% would not agree. If we had a sticky where individual members could post good and bad experiences it would allow members to decide.

Kind of funny that no one has mentioned the infamous TY TY in Georgia.

[COGardener]

I intentionally left TY TY out do to the fact that everyone seen a little disgusted by them. I also did not know where to place them as I can't recall anyone's reports of dealing them and personally have not.

[Phiggy]

They won't ship to us in Az. Maybe we can add some restrictions on a list as well.

[fitzski]

I think a bunch of folks have received figs from Petals from the Past which lead me to purchase their O'Rourke and Marseilles. Apparently their O'Rourke is actually an Improved Celeste.

http://www.ourfigs.com/forum/figs-ho...-from-the-past

https://petalsfromthepast.com

The figs I have received are in good health and happily growing.

They are reasonably priced as well. I wanted the ORourke/IC and found that shipping was $15. I added the Marseilles and shipping for both was $16 combined so for the two figs with shipping it came to just over $36. Good price to me.

[COGardener]

Added, excellent addition Kevin, thank you.

[bamafig]

I hear good things about mail orders with Petals from the Past. Fortunately, I live 20 miles from them and can drive to get what I need. The 1 gallon plants for $9 have been excellent so far.

[COGardener]

Welcome to the forum bamafig, thank you for your input.

[mountainfigs]

Bay Flora in California and Whitman Farms in Oregon are excellent. Have heard good things about Burnt Ridge nursery in Washington though have not ordered from there. Pine Island nursery and Top Tropicals both in Florida more for tropicals but have a few figs. Pine Island especially is excellent for tropicals.

[COGardener]

Added, thank you Tony!!! Some great sites lining up here. This may have a been a bad idea................. for my wallet!!!!

[Rafaelissimmo]

Rabbit Ridge nursery in North Carolina?

[cis4elk]

Rabbit Ridge was good for me. Fred had great communication and loves to talk about fig growing. Plant showed up nice and healthy. 2 days later I went to a parade and left my tree in a transitional shade spot. Stayed out way too long and I scorched the heck out of it in full sun for a few hours. Luckily it eventually rebounded.

[Rafaelissimmo]

Cal what variety did you get?

[Yeehova]

I bought a Satsuma and a couple Muscadines from Rabbit Ridge and Fred was nice enough to show me practically the whole nursery even though I accidentally came during off hours! He told me that the Battaglia Green is the most requested fig he has in stock.

[COGardener]

Never heard of that one, thanks Rafael! This is great, keep them coming.

[fitzski]

Seeing we're also talking about good nurseries in general, there is Logee's in CT.

http://www.logees.com

They do have figs and I have their Desert King, Ischia, Petit Negra and Black Mission. They haven't fruited yet so I do not know if they are true to type but the plants are very healthy and vigorous.

They have a lot of citrus and other interesting and hard to find plants.

[bent]

The "Ischia" I received from Logee's was actually a "White Marseille". Seems to be a very common problem for most online sources.

[COGardener]

The more fig related the better, however, this is a diverse group so all are sites are welcome.

I'll add it in a few minutes, thanks Kevin.

[tyro]

Here's a rattlesnake for you............

http://encantofarms.com/

[COGardener]

I wish John had actual online ordering on his web site.

I also wish I had thought of his site... Thank you Paul.

[COGardener]

The edit button is now gone, could a moderator please add http://encantofarms.com/ to the list.

Thank you

[WillsC]

Sure.

[COGardener]

Thank you Wills!

Could you also add the ones listed below please.

Thank you

[Michael]

Is Encanto still in business? Their site looks like it hasn't been updated since 2013.

[jmaler]

Here is one I ran across searching Raspberry Latte. Not bought from them but it is one of our members.

http://www.figsgalorenursery.com/about-figs-galore/fig-tree-availability/

[eboone]

Ok, here are several more I had saved as links. Cannot vouch for any of them as I have not purchased their figs.

For our European members:
Baud: http://www.fig-baud.com/figuiers.html

I believe a moderator will need to add these to the list

[Rafaelissimmo]

For European members, there is also Montserrat Pons website, Sonmutnou.com, for cuttings only, in Autumn. Also, Puntoverde vivai in Lecce, Puglia, is a trusted seller of trees in Italy only.

[Noah Mercy]

Trees of Antiquity has been a reliable source for me for fruit trees other than fig. Very healthy and vigorous and well pruned - compared to Stark Bros and Gurney's. I have BT fig from Gurneys and they have fruited I believe are true to type - but I'm relatively new to fig ID so take that with a grain of salt.

[COGardener]

I forgot all about trees of antiquity, and have great from the them on a couple pears and apples in the back yard.

the rest I will have to check out later today.

great additions guys, thank you all for your input.


If a moderator could please add these to the top.

thank you kindly.

[Tonycm]

A f4f member, Maggie, aka italiangirl74 is a trusted seller. She previously sold trees but now only sells cuttings. They are healthy, well wrapped and marked. She has a limited supply so you need to put an order in early. Her prices are also very reasonable.

[RyanH]

I saw someone posted this nursery in another thread that they bought a Hollier from. Interesting selection:

https://www.rollingrivernursery.com/products/20/fruit-trees/figs-ficus-carica

[COGardener]

If a moderator could please add the above new site to the top list that would be great.


Thank you!!!

[AscPete]

Done... You're Welcome.

[COGardener]

Awesome! !!

I also want to thank everyone for there input!

And please update this thread if you find any additional site. (Good, bad or indifferent)

Scott

[COGardener]

Fitzski,

I bought 6 fig trees from Petsls from the Past that should be here end of next week. $9.00 each and only $29.67 for shipping for 6 - 1 gallon pots. Pretty good deal.

Then I will be ordering a few from JF&E this fall once they start shipping again. The 3 I got for X-Mas this year are doing great.

[fitzski]

Scott,

I'm very happy with my purchase from Petals from the Past. The O'Rourke/IC is extremely happy. The Marseilles is now starting to grow after it was dormant for a few weeks.

If things go well with the two I bought this year, I'll probably buy two more next year.

Good luck with your figs.

Kevin

[bamafig]

I live 20 mins from PFP and bought 3 one gallon figs this spring and all are growing very nicely with figs. The Papa John is a beast! The annual fig orchard tour is coming up in July. If it is like the fruit tree tour in the spring, it will be very well attended, informative and professional.
