Ultra Hardy Olympian Fig Plant - Very Sweet - 4" Pot

I live in zone 6, and have experience with other figs, so these got weather protected and moved in to the garage for the winter. Unfortunately, they still died within one winter season. Luckily, Hirts refunded my order of multiple plants quickly, and without an issue. Other than the issue with this order (all four of the order plants died, despite my efforts and the fact that other fig plants purchases at other times did survive), I have had great luck buying from Hirts, and would definitely buy from them again. I just chose not to re order these, as I didn't want to have to replace them if they did not survive the winter.

I just received two small figs, so it is too soon to say how it will work out. I have three large "cold hardy" figs, including a Chicago Hardy. Like the Olympian hardy fig, they all die back in winter in zone 6 unless heavily protected. They all bounce back and produce a huge crop of figs that freeze before ripening here in northern NM. The claim is that the Olympian hardy ripens faster and can produce edible figs before frost even if it dies back in winter. I hope it is true.

These are very small saplings, always smaller than advertised, only about 3'' tall from the ground up. It would help to see a picture of a typical plant in a 2'' or 4'' pot. This particular item came without any leaves at all, back in September, raising questions about its living status. I will not know until spring time. Meanwhile, it is just a little twig.

I am a big fan of this seller and their products! I have bought more than a dozen figs (in 4" pots) and kiwis from them- they all arrive quickly and in secure packaging. Once you repot the tiny plants, they grow super great! They are very healthy plants and are well worth the cost. Remember, but fig trees would cost a lot more and these ones grow rapidly!

This was so small I wasn't sure it was a fig, however, it's doing well so far.

Perfect also and growing beautifully as well as the other one. Can't wait 'til there's fruit!

Tiny tiny tiny fig. NO leaves. Fish bone thickness of thickest branch. After 3+ weeks in greenhouse- first tiny leaf just appeared

I can't give you a 5 star rating only because the plant that arrived was so young; 3 1/2 inches tall and no hardwood. It will take at least 3 years before I see any fruit on it to determine its quality. What I will give you 5 stars for is the condition of the sampling upon arrival and it's hardiness after transplanting it to its first pot. Arizona summers are very hard on plants (I live in the Phoenix area) and it is a struggle to keep anything alive when temps consistently hover above 105 degrees. Your little fig tree has tripled in size since delivery and is now putting out its first true fig leaves. If this is sign of what I can expect 2 or 3 years from now I will be well pleased with the first batch of fruit. Thx for such a nice and robust fig sappling! Mr. Freeman
