Terrible quality plants. Terrible shipping where root balls were falling apart. And two months in a greenhouse and still haven’t woken up. Cuz I think they’re dead. And communications have been really challenging too.

Yeah I’ve got so many more varieties to root for next year. This last year I helped the fig community by giving away a majority of my cuttings for shipping costs and rooted what I had left over. Next year I plan to root a bunch and the better varieties and I don’t plan on selling any variety higher than 30 starting bid and a buy it now in the 40-50 range. Even if I paid 120 for a tree I can get a dozen cuttings by end of season to root and then the price is more about my time into growing it rather than what I paid for it.
I’ve made an order and have attempted twice through their email/feedback loop to see if the order has been shipped. Could be an overlook - which I understand … things happen… the thing is I’m on vacation at the end of the month and thought the order would be in the mail by now…we’ll see

This is from a while back and this particular sale has (obviously) closed, but I just wanted to put in a good word for Reirden. I bought two rooted cuttings from him (Red Israel and Atillio Green) and they both did great. Shipping containers and condition of plants were great.
Reirden is good seller local to me. He’s a pastor and uses some of the money to help the church also as an added benefit of buying from him. We are working together to test a bunch of varieties in ground for the benefit of the local group and cold zone growers.
