Fig Sales | Fig Website

Why don't I see a way to pay for my order?

THIS SITE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION! It's being updated with new fig varieties as my orchard matures and figs are tested, tasted, and reviewed. I hope to have trees available in the Spring of 2026. I will be applying for my nursery license soon as well. The FAQ information below has information about how to purchase and why my site is different. You can visit the SHOP clicking above on the left. It will change as updates are made. If you have any questions, email me at c3voyage@gmail.com.

An expensive part of any order today is shipping. I use a shipping company and can get the most reasonable USPS/UPS rates for any number of methods you may desire. I only charge what the courier charges, and that charge is based on where I'm shipping to, weight of package, box dimensions, and how fast you want it. It's tailored and not the same for everyone, every location. Because I'm exact and include you in the process, you'll get the best deal. My shipping supplies (boxes, tape, filling) are considered when I price product, not part of shipping. I can ship overnight, 2-day, 3-day, and more. These options could be critical when ordering a tree and your choice could help ensure a healthy product. For example, if it's really hot, overnight might be a consideration or perhaps 2-day. If you want the absolute cheapest shipping rate, I'll give you that option too! Whatever your choice, I want to have a conversation with you on shipping and address any other concerns or questions you may have. This is why you don't see a way to pay on my site. Simply, email me at c3voyage@gmail.com and tell me what you're intersted in or ask questions. Here, on my site, you can add all your desired product into the cart, view the cart for a total price, and screen capture or take a photo with your phone, and include that image in your email. Or, you can highlight (scroll over text/pics with mouse), right-click mouse to copy the cart, then right-click paste directly into an email. For those that find this difficult, you can simply type what you want in the email. Options. You will receive an email back within 24 hours with information to ensure availaility of product you desire, shipping options, and answers to your questions. When you get my email answer, you can make your decsion and let me know by email reply. I will then send you a PayPal invoice email with a link to pay with several options of payment including credit card and more. PayPal is my pay merchant. I've done it this way for many years. Once you do it with me, you can compare to other places and what they charge. Worth it! Ultimately, it's a talored experience with the best pricing.

Why do some varieties have an actual fig picture and some don't?

I only put pictures up of figs that I actually harvested, from my plants, here at my nursery. They are pics I took and feel certain are the actual variety it's supposed to be. I usually will have a review of it on my YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/@BrentsVegFig/videos. So, if you see a picture, I believe it's validated to be true to type to the best of my ability. If you see the generic fig icon, or the plant only, it almost always means that the tree has not produced fruit to evaluate (young). My original purchase of fig trees/cuttings was very selective using only trusted sellers, but as Reagan said, "trust, but verify." With trees I haven't validated, I will put something to the affect of "This is a very young tree that has not fruited. Please understand that it should be correct, but without fruit to make sure, I cannot guarantee it." in the description. Keep this in mind when you purchase figs. Also, lastly, varieties that cannot be known for sure (like Blackberry Unknown) is KNOWN to be unknown. :O)

Do you sell fig cuttings?

Most of the time, no, but it never hurts to ask.

What is your return, replace, and refund policy for fig plants?

Refund Only With Approval: I do not accept returns or replace contested orders. I will refund your money if your plant is dead. I will require documentation within 48 hours. Please use your tracking number to watch when your package will be delivered. I will see it too. Make sure you get your plant the day it is delivered, and video unpackaging it. If your video isn't clear, I cannot evaluate, and will decline the refund. If you cannot video your incoming package, please do not expect any action on my part. Reasonable cirmcustances will certainly be met positively and promptly. I sure appreciate your business.

What is your return, replace, and refund policy for seeds?

Seeds are a gift. You did not purchase seeds. You donated to me for my breeding work and I wanted to thank you with the very work you donated to. With this in mind, I do not take returns or refund your donation. I certainly may replace my gift to you in some manner on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, I cannot guarantee seed germination, but I do germinate batches of seed sold in an attempt to get you the best seed I can. Lack of germination can be a failure on your part or mine. Let's discuss. The amount of seed I generate is limited and a trade-off due to the space available here in my gardens. Consider you're gift as getting something you cannot find anywhere else. Again, let me know if you have an issue. I always try and make things right with good, honest folks. I want you to be happy.

Where do you ship?

I will only ship to the lower 48 contiguous United States due to restrictions and complications. There may be other restriction depending on individual state laws. This will be clear with our back and forth email conversations as that will be where the soonest updates reside. Of note: Seeds may be shipped to all 50 states.

How long does it take to ship an order after purchase?

As fast as I possibly can normally. Seeds are easy. Live plants are a tad complicated. They require special packaging and tailored shipments. There's also the possibility of handling lots of orders to ship. So, it's variable, but as quick as possible in most cases. My preference is shipping on Monday so that a "regular" shipment doesn't sit over the weekend. So, let's discuss when you email me. If really busy, I'll tell you when to expect the shipment to go out. If there's a needed delay in shipping (hot or cold weather), I can make an accommodation for reasonable requests. Shipping is critical and I want to tailor it to fit your needs. If you're not happy, then there's no need to purchase. We'll settle it before you pay.

Do you give nursery tours?

Only with purposeful reasoning. A chef visiting for "you-pick" collections for restaurants, yes. I also occasionally approve a private "you-pick" customer. But, generally to look around just to check things out, no.

How do I ensure my fig plant will surive? What should I do?

My suggestions: Meet your plant at the mailbox! It's a mini-oven if hot. Take plant inside or a cool place to open. If leaves are wilted, that's normal. Keep your plant inside for a day or two to "bounce back" as needed and give it a drink of water from a healthy source. Move outside, but do not place your plant in direct sun at first. You will need to acclimate it to where you live. Keep in full shade for 2 days. On the 3rd day, slowly expose the fig to indirect sun. The best is early morning or late afternoon when the sun is rising or setting and casting long shadows. Start with 30 mintues the first day and up it 30 minutes daily. Do not let the soil dry out. After about a week, you should be fine for full sun, but watch your plant. Curling leaves means it's too much sun and wilting leaves means it needs water. If curling, reduce the full sun exposure for a few more days. This is especially true in high-heat areas during summer. Replant your fig into a larger container of choice at any time. Give the whole process 2 weeks. If it's too hot or too cold, obviously don't expose your plants to it. Your tree was fed with water-soluble fertilizer. If you don't feed your fig, it will die. Container figs require you feed the plants fully. Start with a very weak solution of water-soluble fertilizer like Miracle Grow 1/4-strength increasing to full strength by the end of the two weeks. You can also use liquid organic or other water-soluble fertilizer. I use Masterblend. Water-soluble (chemical) fertilizers ensure plants feed immediately while organic feeding often takes a while for bacteria to make nutrients available to the plant. I HIGHLY recommend water-soluble for quite a while to establish, but you can supplement with organic as you transition over to full organic if you wish. I do not recommend planting your fig in the ground for the first year, but rather the following Spring. Note that some zones are too cold to plant in ground. Check your zone, do some research, and make an informed decsion. Figs are easy to grow, but colder temperatures can impact them significantly.

The word "parthenocarpic" in the fig's description, what does it mean?

Most figs are what's called "Common" which means the figs will grow and ripen without needing to be pollinated. That's a great thing because it means they can grow anywhere. The scientific term for "Common" is parthenocarpic. Except for a very few "San Pedro" types, I only sell common. The "San Pedro" fig, like Desert King will set fruit parthenocarpically, but only the first crop known as "Breba". The ones I sell are prized for that particular first crop. See below for what a breba and main crop mean. There are other types of figs that need to be pollinated, but only isolated regions allow the particular pollinator to survive. Figs like this will drop the baby figs if they're not pollinated. Not a good thing for most of us who want to grow the delicious fig.

I see the term "Breba" and "Main Crop" used regarding figs. What does it mean?

Breba. A term used for figs that grow on branches that already exist in Spring sometimes known as "older wood" or "last year's wood". The benefit of Breba figs is that the figs are earlier than "Main Crop" figs. Not all figs have a Breba crop, but some have both Breba and Main Crop.

Main Crop. A term used for figs that grow on "new wood" meaning shoots that only begin growing after Spring starts. It can be shoots from the tree's main trunk, shoots popping up from the roots, or new growth that grows on the tips of last year's branches. It's easy to tell because they're always much lighter in color when they first start growing. Main Crop is the prized crop in most cases. They're often the best tasting and most productive.
