My top three....

1. Encanto Farms www.figs4fun.com Nobody knows figs like Jon. You will not likely find anyone here who has a bad thing to say about him or his figs. The only caution is if you're in a state which requires a phytosanitary certificate.

2. Burnt Ridge Nursery www.burntridgenursery.com I've placed an order with BR each year for the past 8, spending between $80 and $150 each year. Their website is great and their non-fig selection will leave you wanting more than just figs. Plants are very good for the prices (just don't expect a 6 foot tree for $15) Shipping seems high, but compared to other west coast nurseries is actually very reasonable. (and I don't worry about the plants making the transit across country if they're from BR)

3. Edible Landscaping www.eat-it.com Mike is another great resource. He offers a great selection of sizes and is currently running specials on some fig varieties. He frequently has varieties not listed on the site (email him) but if you read through the Q & A on the forum (the forum there) you can see the varieties he might have that aren't currently listed.

EBAY is truly buyer beware. There are people here who do sell there, and I'd buy from any of them, but unless I KNOW who the seller is, I do NOT buy figs (or cuttings) from ebay.

I would only buy from these three because they have a reputation of selling fig trees that are true to label. When it comes to figs other than the few most common varieties getting what you pay for is a rare thing and I'm not interested in wasting money.

Here's is the list of nurseries that sell less common varieties that I trust.

Thank you both for your quick, honest reply.

Sorry No online nurseries any more for me. I have lousy experience with the so called bare feet trees sold to me by online nurseries. Online in general started good I used to buy every thing from online but as with every thing in life things change and in this case to the worse. They got greedy and the field induced a lot of wannabes who are interested in hit and run. I wish you can see my trees I bought from nurseries in pots and loaded them in my truck all alive green and beautiful flowers. The ones I bout from online bare feet all look sad and not even one leave. I drive 150 miles radius to go to nurseries and see what I am buying. Two trips per year takes care of every thing.

Trees of Antiquity. Don't take our words for it, google search their "reviews" and you'll see....

That's how I choose them, got 5 bare roots a month ago (2 were figs) and they came in great condition. Only problem is it's end of season for them soon....

I ordered a Panache Tiger and a Violette de Bordeaux from Raintree. They are both high quality and I'd order figs and anything else from them again.

I recently bought my brother a Negronne Fig from Rolling River Nursery. It came in excellent shape, has quickly started branching, and the owners kindly answered all my questions on the phone and by email. I like their selection.

Petals from the Past has great prices for figs in 1 gallon containers - $9 each. Shipping is reasonable too. They have also been very helpful in answering my questions via email. I have 2 figs on order now.

Good luck!

For me, from personal experince, here are ones to try:

Treesofjoy.com-Varieties aplenty-great info

Figtrees.net-Italian trees-been to nursery-Knowledgable

Edible landscaping

Raintree Nursery

There are others that are good but have not had experience with.

EBay is a very good source but do your research. There are some shady characters. Forums will help with there reps.
