The little trees arrived very well packed and healthy. I just transplanted them into larger pots to get some growth to them before ai put them into the ground. They all feel very healthy and their root systems were also healthy. I’m looking forward to buying from this seller again because so far, my little trees are perfect. I also love how they are very well marked for proper identification.

Very Small Fig Plants

For roughly $15 each, it would have been nicer if they were a bit bigger.
