Hi. I was thinking of ordering a few fig plants (varieties that I don't have) from their web site. I was wondering about the size of their $8.50 plants. Anyone order fig plants from there? |

I never order anything from them. According to the price, it's most likely a TC plant that may not produce fruit in a few years. There are lots of discussion about TC plant in this forum, you can do a search. |

I bought a stella and vdb from them. The vdb grew like crazy and ripened 3 figs for me out of the 10 on it. I also bought a dessert king from them but it may have been miss labeled as it ripened 2 yellow skinned figs in September, may have been peters honey or atreano as those are the other two light colored figs they have. For us up in canada the prices seem fair. |

My one experience there was not great. I went right to the greenhouse in early June. I got a Desert King Fig tree 2 feet tall with about 8 figs already on it. Stuck it in a pot in my garden with my own HC cuttings that where only about a foot tall. By the end of the summer my own cuttings dwarfed the plant I got from Richters and none of the figs on the tree ripened. I'm giving it another season to see how it performs but I'm not impressed so far. |

Not figs, but other plant products with good results. No complaints. |

I ordered 7 in 2015. Only two have fruited and one was mislabeled. Half of my cuttings fruit the first year. I wouldn't recommend them at all. |
