Hi I am considering getting a couple of trees from Bill's figs but live 15 hours away and he doesn't ship. Curious to know if anyone has made a long trip out there or setup any shipping on there own through freight etc.? I would really like a large tree in a SIP and after reading some posts he seems like it might be worth the hassle

Bill's trees are really good. 15 hours is a long trip, though. Where do you live? __________________ Arne Zone 6a - NJ

He carries 3 different sizes 1 Gal I think is 35$ 5 Gal 45$ Full size tree 500$.. He carries a huge assortment of trees. Don't expect to see any semi rare to rare if that's what your looking for. You will get a beautiful tree if you do decide to go through with shipping. Here is a list of reputable sellers that are also members of Figs4fun and Ourfigs http://www.ourfigs.com/forum/figs-home/8609-trusted-known-ebay-sellers-vendors-list These guys are much better equipped to handle shipping. __________________ Zone 6a Orange County NY Wish list: Figo Preto,I-258,St Rita,

Bill's small trees you might could ship, the bigger ones are not appropriate, too expensive and too large. Some of Bill's figs are actually very hard to find and unique. An example: the Battaglia fig, not available at any nursery and highly desirable variety. I bought mine from Bill. You should also get a primer on fig shipping so that you pack your trees correctly. __________________ Zone 7b, Queens, New York

I'll have some stuff in the fall available for sale. Not sure if you want to wait though. Will bare root so shipping won't be a lot. Most of trees are 3 or 4 years old. __________________ Rob Maryland Zone 7 http://rbfigs.webs.com/

I should have been more clear Rafaelissimmo. In no means did I want to imply his stock isn't incredible. I personally bought 3 trees from him and will be going back for one more. I just want people to know not to go there expecting to see Black Madeira's __________________ Zone 6a Orange County NY Wish list: Figo Preto,I-258,St Rita,
