Sultane Fig

Robust specimens

I received two plants from Raintree in one gallon pots. They had healthy root systems and were about 18" tall. I planted them the day they arrived and will look forward to seeing them leaf out next year.

Sultane and Nordland (aka "Longue d'Aout") fig starts

Both starts arrived in great shape, were potted almost immediately in Cedar Grove Potting Soil mix (a nice pH for figs), and haven;t missed a beat. I like purchasing fig starts from Raintree because figs have come from other nurseries loaded with viruses. In fact, I had to throw away a recent order from another nursery, as the plant was so bad I did not want it in my orchard with the other figs. Scuking insects spread viruses quickly, especially in overcrowded high tunnels. Raintree sells figs that have propagated using (I think it is called) meristem culture, which greatly reduces, if not eliminates, the virus load in the young plants. Excellent decision to go that route, Raintree! You've got my business!

Sultan

Plants arrived in great condition, very healthy looking tree and good size as well. Thanks RT!
