    This stalk was at least 1 1/2 to 2 feet tall and at least a nickel in size. Great roots and new growth planted 3 weeks

    Update, it’s now June and this fig tree is surprisingly full of figs. We were thinking another year or 2 before seeing anything. Growing really well.

    Instructions for planting were very helpful and since planting, the stems grew new leaves/branches quickly. Great quality overall.

    My Chicago Hardy fig seems to be doing okay. It was just a single trunk/stick but had a good quality root system for its size.

    Purchased two
    One is doing fabulous the other has come out of dormancy but hasn’t leafed out like the other. Planted in different locations so I’m sure they will both take off as ground temps rise.
