The guy is definitely legit! Just put up nine more hoop houses this year to fill orders. I would buy but I would end up buying 50 plants and my wife would flip haha

I'm invested $$$ in these guys, hope they come through! Already been burned by dried out cuttings from European Ebay cutting suppliers due to the month long shipping times.

I have ordered 32 trees from him! Seems to be a great trustworthy guy! : )

[QUOTE=Frankallen]I have ordered 32 trees from him! Seems to be a great trustworthy guy! : )[/QUOTE]Thanks Frank, good luck with your trees.

[QUOTE=alanmercieca]He started out selling just cuttings, now he sells trees too, he owns a nursery, he's very trustworthy, he does sometimes let more orders go through than maybe he should yet he is an unusually hard worker and he tries very hard to make things go as smoothly as possible, especially when he can not keep a deadline, at this point he must be loosing money because of problems he did not expect to happen, and because of his low prices. He tries very hard to make sure he has the real thing as well. If you order from him, just in case expect him to not ship in time especially if you order something in big demand like Ponte Tresa, or something that is a poor rooter like figo preto. Me for his prices I do not mind the delay.[/QUOTE]Thank you Alan.

He has a great selection coupled with good prices, can't wait for him to get a little more settled in and see what new varieties he chooses to add!

Though I have never bought cuttings, I have previously done several trades with Greenfin (James),
the owner of FigCuttings.com. He aims to please and is absolutely trustworthy; I recommend him without reservations.

I bought cuttings from him last year, and they came very fresh. They appear to be true to type as well although I haven't eaten any figs from them yet:)

I have ordered about 12-14 trees from this site, it was recommended to me by a trusted member of another Forum. I know that they are running behind with orders - per their email updates, but is supposed to be legit. My trees are not due to be delivered until March of 2017, which is fine. Hopefully they will have caught up on back orders by then. Good luck! I chose to receive trees, not just cuttings as I am still a new grower, and I'm not great at starting new cuttings yet. And I ordered a Ponte Tresa as well as several more!

And I ordered a Ponte Tresa as well as several more![/QUOTE]I ordered the same Ponte Tresa and can't wait to try them. I read that this is one of the most popular variety and one of the hardest to clone. That's one of the major problems for being late on deliveries, I believe the day will come on time or late. The guy has a pretty serious operation going on there. Cheers!

I ordered some cuttings last year never received them. Ordered some cuttings this year and a tree and have heard anything yet. Hope to hear soon. I try to have the patience of Job as I know everyone is busy.

Hi Mike,

I just searched my PayPal database and see that I've received two orders with your name, one placed in February 2016 for two $7 trees and another in October for two 2017 trees.  I don't have any orders from you for my 2015 cuttings sales or my upcoming winter cuttings sale, just those orders for trees.  Were you thinking of the $7 trees as cuttings?  I'm certain that I shipped cuttings to everyone who ordered cuttings from those 2015 cuttings sales.

Your order for $7 trees should ship within the month, and your order for 2017 trees should ship in spring of 2017.  I'm sorry for the long delay on your $7 tree order, thank you for being so patient.

I'm not at all worried about the delay.  You have to remember that if a 1 yr old tree produces 4 clones in 4 months then 5 trees will produce 20 clones in that same time.  In the mean time the older trees will produce 8 or more clones in 3 months. So the number of trees produced would rise exponentially if they all produced at the same rate but the larger root mass of the older trees will make them produce even faster.   Catching up and then exceeding demand is pretty much inevitable.

Ok my bad, now I have to be concerned if I ordered the same trees. I definitely don't need 4 of the same trees!

I just purchased some cuttings to help pay his karma back. He took in a little kitten that had been run over by a car and named him Figlet. cute.
