Violette de Bordeaux Fig (Negronne)

Well packed, came on time

The fig plant came well packed today, but it was a bit disappointing looking. The main stem (which does look to be still alive) had zero growth with three spindly looking sucker growth off the base. I have ordered figs in the past (not from rain tree) and have received a start with growth developed off that main stem cutting. I’m just going to have to hope that the main stem eventually sprouts and I can do away with this sad sucker growth off the base. From reading the reviews, this was not the quality of fig start that I was expecting.

Beautiful Violette de Bordeaux Fig

Violette de Bordeaux Figs arrived a bit exhausted. They spent 6-days in transit due to a weekend being involved and were definitely dehydrated out of the box. Into the ground and some water made them perk right up. They are looking great the first week and expect them to make some delicious fruit for years to come.
