Tips for Buying a Fig Tree
Before ordering, confirm exactly what you’re buying: a dormant cutting, a rooted cutting, a bare-root plant, or a potted tree. The price, shipping method, and care required after arrival can differ greatly.
Choose a Variety That Suits Your Conditions
Don’t choose on flavour alone. Ask whether the variety:
Produces fruit without pollination
Ripens early enough for your growing season
Produces a worthwhile breba crop
Has performed well for growers in a climate similar to yours
Suits your planned growing method—in a pot, in the ground, or under winter protection
Not sure which variety to choose? See this Guide to Cold-Climate Fig Varieties.
Confirm the Variety Name
Fig names can be unreliable. The same variety sometimes circulates under different names, and informal names such as “Italian fig” can refer to many unrelated plants.
Ask the seller where the plant material came from, especially if you’re paying a premium for a rare variety. For your first fig, a locally proven plant is often a better choice than an expensive collector’s variety.
Compare Plants, Cuttings, and Shipping Costs
Potted plants are larger and easier for beginners, but they’re expensive to ship. Dormant cuttings cost less to mail, although you must root them yourself. Rooted cuttings fall somewhere in between.
If pickup is possible, you can often get a larger plant while avoiding shipping costs and damage in transit.
Ask When the Order Will Ship
Shipping seasons vary. Sellers may send dormant cuttings and bare-root plants during the fall, winter, or early spring, while potted plants usually ship after the risk of severe cold has passed.
Some nurseries accept advance orders for varieties they don’t keep continuously in stock. Ask whether you’re buying an in-stock plant or placing a preorder.
Check Cross-Border Requirements
Many plant sellers don’t ship out-of-country because live plants and cuttings may require permits, inspections, or phytosanitary certificates.
Before ordering from another country, check the import rules where you live. Ask the seller about documentation, additional costs, and possible delays. Don’t assume that a seller’s willingness to mail a plant means it can legally enter your country.
When Your Fig Tree Arrives
Unpack the shipment promptly and check the plant for damage, drying, or signs of pests. Photograph any problems before removing packaging, and contact the seller immediately if the plant arrived damaged.
Give a newly shipped plant time to recover before repotting unless it’s badly rootbound or the growing medium presents a problem. Keep new plants separate from the rest of your collection while you watch for pests.
Connect with Other Fig Growers
Nurseries aren’t the only source of interesting fig varieties. Online fig communities can help you meet growers, learn about varieties, and find cuttings that rarely appear in nursery catalogues.
FigFanatic
FigFanatic is an online community where fig growers discuss varieties, share growing advice, and connect with people offering or trading cuttings. It’s especially useful if you’re looking for an unusual variety—or want to learn from growers in conditions similar to yours.
Cuttings and trades are arranged between individuals, so check the grower’s reputation and location, ask about the provenance of the variety, and follow any rules governing the shipment of plant material.
On a personal note, this community has been generous in sharing my fig work and supporting the new edition of my book.
