Doing things this way allows me to know how many of each variety I need to grow, and it gives me the money in advance to cover the costs of growing them.
So what's in it for me? A large part of the cost of growing the fig trees will be heating my 4 greenhouses, where I also grow lots of fish and bananas. Heating is really expensive, so I usually only heat half my space, and I only heat it a minimal amount. But I would crank up the heat for your fig trees, and that would have the side benefits of making my fish and bananas happier and helping them to grow faster. So in a nutshell, in exchange for hooking you up with cheap trees, you’d help to pay my heating bill and allow me to grow bigger fish and bananas. Everybody wins :)
So the offer is out there: If you're willing to wait until this upcoming spring/summer to receive your trees, then I will grow you whatever you want for $7 per tree.
Orders will be filled on a first-come first-served basis. Getting your order in early puts you at the front of the line and maximizes the odds that you'll receive your trees early in the season
