SPOKE AND EMAILED JON AT ENCANTO FARMS ABOUT PROCURING A FIG TREE!  AFTER MUCH DELIBERATIONS ON MY PART, I FINALLY WENT WITH A PETER'S HONEY!  WOW!  WHAT A FIG TREE THAT JON SENT ME.. THE CALIPER MUST HAVE BEEN ALMOST AN INCH ACROSS AND VERY TALL WITH SPROUTS SHOOTING OUT EVERYWHERE!  FIG TREE ARRIVED AND I PLANTED IT THE SAME DAY.. LOOKING FORWARD TO SOME EXTREMELY GREAT FIGS..


THANK YOU JON FOR PUTTING UP WITH MY UNDECIDEDNESS AT FIRST! AND THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT FIG TREE!! MAY GOD BLESS!

I ordered  the same last year from them, very good experience. Peter is still dormant now but with no doubt do well this year.  I also ordered a Bianco white from them.

Jon played a MAJOR role in helping me to acquire a superb collection. All the required phyto 
certification was in order and no problems were encountered at immigration/border crossing.
It was not a few plants but boxes of them filled my truck. Border security thought I was crazy
enough to start a fig farm in Canada. Also I had appreciated help in writing directly from the supervisor
of Canadian Food Inspection Agency in Ottawa regarding what I needed to get the exporter to 
do to ensure complete import compliance. It was a great jump start to my interest with trees
and no need to bother with cuttings. Certainly my wife is happy with fresh figs from the garden.
