My tree did come moments ago. I must say, this tree did come from a commercial nursery. It was professionally wrapped. It came bare root and taped inside the 3 foot triangle box. It also came with invoice and Florida USDA certificate. I bought 2. Two seperate boxes and seperate certificates. Both are 3' tall whips. But for a dwarf tree, these grow fast!
Here are a few pics taken last year.
For a small tree, mine produced some large figs. I had to tie them up to keep the branches from breaking. The leaves on my tree shaded some figs keeping them from getting dark purple. Again, the figs are sweet and can only get better with age.
My CBT should produce figs this year.
Kerry, I do not have that tree. I should have asked about it when I called about their Tx EVB. It MIGHT be the same as the Improved Brown Turkey. I do buy figs from our healthy home market. And those that I've bought were Black Mission and Brown Turkey. BUT, just because the label says "Brown Turkey Figs", doesn't mean they are not Improved Brown Turkey figs. I asked the owner at the market and she said, seller will truncate the name of an item just to fit all the letters on the small label. She said, if my orchard fig look and taste like those purchased, then they are probaably the same fig. The same is with Black Mission. Their grocery label said Mission FIgs. The owner said, they are the same as Black Mission but again, they shorten the label just to fit all the letters.
I am happy with the 2 IBT figs I got from this guy off eBay and will probably buy from him again.
