Please enjoy the site, I hope it can answer your questions about figs and fig trees. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

 

 "There is a special joy about being with figs because they are so ancient and so patient. They will be the last plant to leaf or fig in the spring. So do not be surprised if a month or two or five passes and then suddenly they leaf out."
