$7 fig trees for spring/summer delivery, around 150+ varieties

If you go to James website this post is still in the archive.  A person would assume that he was sold out for 2016 and delivered in spring/summer, when in reality, no one received their trees.

2016 Fig Trees For Sale

 
Order your fig trees now for spring/summer 2016 delivery! 

All trees below are specially priced at $7 each.  They will be around 6-12" tall when shipped, and will be sent via USPS 2-day Priority Mail to minimize transit time.  The anticipated shipping date is July 1st, but will depend on demand and how quickly all of the varieties can be propagated.  Here are the shipping rates:

# of trees     Shipping
    1-3               $15
    4-6               $25
    7-16             $45
    17-25           $70
    25-50*          $140

*Max 50 trees per order.  To get more than 50 trees, please place multiple orders.

We can ship anywhere in the continental US (California included), but cannot ship to Canada or other international locations.  Some western states require bare-root shipping, so if you're in one of those states (CA, AZ, OR, WA), you may want to request a delayed delivery to avoid shipping during the peak heat of the season.  If so, just tell us when you would rather receive shipment by typing a note into the appropriate box when you're checking out, and we'll ship it at the later time that you request.  The roots of those trees will be packed with moist material and the leaves sprayed with an antitranspirant.

Sold out varieties can be ordered for early 2017 delivery on our "2017 Fig Trees for Sale" page. Please place separate orders if ordering trees for both 2016 and 2017 (i.e. all 2016 trees on one order, all 2017 trees on a different order), since they won't ship together.

"...will depend on demand and how quickly varieties can be propagated..."

Thank you Chapman...that line from James is key...he never put a listed limit on demand, and he put a caveat in the timeframe....

That is why we are not so upset...we knew going in this could take more time.

Thaifigs Is this one of your photos?

Is it possible for everyone to take their posts somewhere else? The only new posts I want to see here are James' updates. I don't need to read all the negative and speculative posts over and over again.

James: would it be possible for you to commit to a timeframe (bi-weekly or monthtly or another timeframe) when you are able to provide your updates? This would help me and maybe other folks too.

If you are attempting to imply this account is linked to Harvey, you are wrong. I have said it before, I have no other account. I have never done business with Harvey in any way. I don't care how this plant sale impacts the business of others except for the lingering and unaddressed issue of mislabeled plants being a very real possibility. To repeat because people seem to lack reading comprehension: I am not a commercial seller. I am merely trying to help people avoid what I see as a very risky enterprise. I'd be thrilled about getting some rare varieties that I've yearned after for $7, but I just don't see it happening.

Also, eBay reports people to the USDA, this is a well documented fact. I don't believe anyone reported you.

Best of luck with the cold weather, all.

ThaiFig, I am not sure who appointed you guardian all new figgers nor why you choose James' venture to continue to harangue about. There are many other pitfalls out there of which eBay scammers is one. Brings into question your real motivation for the ad nauseam posts that add no value to this discussion.

I am pretty new to figs and do have skin in this game. I purchased from James' website for Spring 2017 trees before I joined the fig forums. I (and many others have also said) do not need you to "watch" out for us. 

Most visit this topic to get updates from James. As TooMuch said, please take the negativity elsewhere. This is requested of you and the others that are clearly just $hit stirrers.

Part of what made our great country is investing in people who are willing to work hard. James is clearly working hard. None of us will know (although many continue to speculate negatively) whether the venture is overly optimistic until it is all said and done. The posts that James is providing show the progress being made.

I have in no way been dissuaded, by you or Babylon or any of the other naysayers, in my willingness to wait for my order even if it is months later then originally scheduled. Or worst case scenario, never gets delivered. That is my choice. Your concern is disingenuous at best.

Thanks,
Wendy

@ThaiFig
  when a post regarding you ...your answer is brief with no explanation...but do not worry...we can read between the lines...

 is it true you are paid Assassin...trying to destroy James business and reputation...is it true what the other Post is saying...

Regarding international visitors with limited to no English skills...with James prices, they will afford to pay for English classes.

If anyone still have any doubts of who Taifigs is, just take a look at his Facebook page and you'll understand his motivation. Hopefully, he will not delete some of his posts before people get the chance to know who he is.

@Thaifig, If I were you, I'd call it a day.

He already committed to making weekly updates, which you'd know if you'd been reading more carefully. Every 3 or 4 weeks is apparently what he meant.


TF,

You complain about "wannab" moderators and then act like one yourself...that person is entitled to their POV.

Hipocracy and maltreatment of new members, so very caring and concerned you are.

Trolls can post as they please on this forum.  At the very least they should be blocked. It is about where to some extent because this place is like a preschool at times and with trolls. The last thing I want to do anymore is read this thread, screw this thread it has been ruined. I have my own moderated forum I do not need to be here and I will certainly not reward the troll by joining their forum. That is partially why that troll came to this thread to start trouble to recruit new members for our figs. Also I got a private message from someone showing lots of photos that he dug up a fig tree I gave him just because I badmouthed him. The same sort thing that I badmouthed him on this forum for which goes to show that I was right. He rubs things in to people's faces rudely.

We should not let these jesters rule the castle and make you feel unwelcome...don't take them to heart. You gave good advice over the years, advice that is helpful to new comers and more experienced alike...it would be a shame to loose that. Plus if you leave the jesters win a victory...don't give them the satisfaction. ..the guy who runs "our figs" would be most happy if this forum were to implode...or even just lose some good posters. What I find helpful is taking a break from a forum when things get a little out of hand ...you can always come back later. ;)
The damage has been done, like I said most of my posts were already gone last night. I did not want to disappear without any explanation for why, nor did I want anyone to accuse Jon of doing it. I will be leaving this forum.

Don't leave because of some trouble makers,you will just be giving them their way! Stay on the forum and help grow this great hobby to ensure future generations of great figs.Don't let them run you off.

I'll take that tree he dug up.

Some people thrive on stirring the pot. As long as everyone keeps bitching and complaining with them they will never stop. If they were to post 4 or 5 post with no comments they would probably fade away. Or at the very least they're would be no more fuel to the fire.

Good point spiff2

If I wanted to deal with the things like what is going on this forum I'd join a soap opera forum, or watch the republican debates over and over again. This sort of thing could easily be prevented and it's not. So I am leaving.

Admission of your problem is a step in the right direction
This thread is not about alans problems.
Always drama.
Spif the stick I raised produced 1 yellow fig a year at best.
Not worth passing around.
I'm removing all my yellow figs eventually.
Doug
Notice how I did not even say your name, yet you revealed yourself. So all yellow figs are low production for you? You are a drama queen.

Serious question.  This rare southern snow event got me thinking. I wonder if James has a disaster plan regarding weather.  What if one of those midwest blizzards dumped enough snow to collapse the hoop houses?  If all his capital is tied up in facilities, utilities etc., it could seriously affect his ability to make refunds I would think.  I dont have any skin in the game and dont sell cuttings, so I am hoping things work out for everyone.  The more people that have these "rare" varieties the less "rare", and thus affordable, they will be for all of us!
Quote

This thread has become like a violent movie, with two sides: Side A attacking James and Side B Deffending James. Regardless of the side on this story, some points and concerns have been raised and I think are valid and need to be answered. I just wonder why James is not answering those valid concerns. I think that James need to answer them ASAP and he needs to be sincere with the people who bought from him, and he needs to be honorable to his word, because he swear to have weekly updates and we haven't seen that. More important, James you need to speak and to answer with the truth, because only that will stop this war on this thread.

Quote

Lebmark you appear to have lost your manners somewhere so perhaps you need someone to remind you of them...whatever your problem is, I don't really care, this thread is supposed to be about figs and not about anything personal, there are plenty of things personal to you I could mention but I will not as that is not my style. If you have something you want to take up personally, you know where to find me. I will be waiting for you. In the meantime, take a midol and SHUT YOUR PIE-HOLE unless it is about figs or something I have mentioned here.

Rob_Steven, it's nice of you to jump right in with your first post asking James for an update ASAP using the word sincere. So how many trees did you order?
Last time I checked my yard all my trees in TX were dormant. Unless you're expecting trees to grow on your iPad by pressing buttons, give the man a break.
I don't know what happened to camaraderie. It's called a fig community but all I'm seeing is a shark tank.

I'm enjoying the figs this year I got from James a year or so ago. I look forward to more. The cuttings he sent were awesome, and super fresh, all rooted very well.  They produced first leaf too, very impressive. Looking forward to my next order of trees this time. I know it's been awhile, but no big deal.  Thanks again James! What you're doing here is so awesome, good luck with it, and if any of us can help out in anyway let us know.

ive been away from the forum for months and purchased from him for june/july delivery and have gotten anything yet.  this is the first time im looking at the post in over 4 months though.  i just remembered that i was suppose to get 5 new plants over the summer and never got them.

I'm not defending anyone. I happened to be one of the ones that don't mind delays. If you ordered anything and have a problem with delays you could write James and ask for your refund. It's that simple. Now if you wish to discuss figs then welcome to the forum.
