item arrived in phenomenal condition and ready to grow.
That's so great to hear! Wishing you the best for your new plant babies.
Plants as described. They are in the ground and happy.
Great looking plant. I will order again in the future
The cuttings were the diameter of a teeth pick! already failed. Total waste of time, money and resources!
This shop sells the best quality plants.
The image in the photo is accurate. Having read on cutting preferably being pencil, I was expecting the rooting to be more like pencil or half pencil diameter. It was a really thin branch. I'll see how it goes over the next 30 days if it lives and grows for up-potting.
This is yhe second Fig Tree Inhave ordered from Wellspring. I was initially concerned about the small size of the plant, but by the end of the griwing season that plant had reached nearly 6 feet tall and had developed a nice trunk. So I ordered this Kadota fig and will not worry about it being so small right now. Wellspring has proven to be a good source for fig trees.
Many thanks for the quick ship they arrived safely.
The plant came in healthy, and I am excited to see it grow.
Just beautiful happy healthy plants, nicely wrapped! Can't wait to plant them next spring!
Great looking seeds! Thanks again
I was so please with everything; the packaging was well done and professional with instruction. This is a tiny potted tree that is already rooted, not just a stick that you have to root yourself.
