Healthy trees rooted from a healthy Ronde de Bordeaux fig tree. This fruit tree is very productive, vigorous, cold hardy, and easy to grow. Expect good fruit production next year. This fig has a sweet, dark berry flavored fruit that ripens super early, perfect for our PNW climate.
I've been growing them here for years and harvest has been great. They can be grown in the ground, or in pots, making them super easy and versatile. I keep a few on my sunny deck and get a bunch of fruit, even in just a 3 or 5 gallon pot.
You only need one tree for fruit production, expect a good crop next summer.
Each tree has been rooted in organic coco coir (some have organic perlite). They have had a few dilute organic fertilizer treatments. They have been up potted to the 6 inch pots in Organic potting soil and amendments. This first up potting is the most likely to kill the plant, and the ones I sell are well past the danger.
They are growing well, pumping out roots and ready to go.
I do have a few Desert King, LSU Purple, JFE Black Madeira Not, and Azores Dark fig variety starts. More Desert Kings coming soon
Message me to arrange sale, I can arrange Bellingham pickup pretty much any time.
I will include my guide on how to care for your new tree.
FAQ:
1. Will a fig tree survive Whatcom County?
Yes. There are many trees growing outside in our area. You will want a cold hardy, early fruiting variety. Some winters the tree will die to the ground if not protected. But Ronde can grow back from the roots and still bear fruit that year! Your other option is to plant in pots and winter in the garage, or protect it outside. A fig tree in a 3 gallon or larger pot will produce lots of figs.
2. Do deer eat them?
The sap of a fig tree is caustic, so they tend to leave them alone.

4. How big do they grow? An in ground tree will grow up to 15 feet. Smaller in pots, and smaller when well pruned.
