End of Tree Sale; Start of Cuttings Sale
(Sept 8th) We need to halt our fig tree sale for a while so that we can get ready for our fig cuttings sale. Trees take an extremely long time to package and ship, and we need to devote that time to cuttings and preliminary winterization work right now.
Over the next few days we will package and ship the remaining tree orders that have already been placed. No new tree orders will be accepted at this time, but we may resume accepting tree orders in October.
We are aiming to launch the fig cuttings sale on Tuesday September 12th at 7pm Eastern Standard Time. The listings and ordering instructions will appear on our "Fig Cuttings for Sale" page when the sale begins.

The turnaround time from when you pay until when your trees ship may take up to a week during the busy opening days of the tree sale, but will settle down to 1-2 business days after we get through the initial rush. We'll give you an estimate of the turnaround time for your particular order when you place your order.
We can only ship these trees to the central and eastern states of the USA; we cannot ship to the West Coast. These restrictions are due to efforts by the USDA to control the westward spread of the Japanese Beetle. Midwestern nurseries like ours are allowed to ship fig cuttings to West Coast states during cuttings season (October through March), but we can't ship established plants to those western states.
Here is a list of the states we can NOT ship trees to: Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico. If you are in one of these states, we can send you cuttings during the fall/winter, but unfortunately we can't ship trees to you.
