Details
Ristan is a rare fig that comes from Southern Albania. A fig collector noticed the cultivar growing out of a wall in a small farm town in the Mediterranean country. Ristan, the owner of the wall where the volunteer seedling had made its home, began to notice that the tree would become loaded with figs that ripen in batches. After tasting the fruits with a thick honey pulp, the fig collector took a cutting of this variety back to the States and named it after Ristan of Albania.
The slightly thick skin and closed eye give Ristan the ability to withstand some handling. The deep red pulp has a complex berry and figgy flavor. The trees produce medium sized figs, mostly 5-lobed leaves, and are very productive with every node producing fruit and some nodes producing double fruit. Ristan figs have good attachment to the tree.

When do we ship cuttings?
Non-Rooted Cuttings(November/December):
We begin to ship cuttings once the trees are dormant and in a shippable state. Exact timing is weather dependent, but we usually start in November. Shipping continues throughout the winter and early spring. We stop shipping when the trees begin to break dormancy, normally around mid-March.
**All non-rooted cuttings ship between November and March regardless of the date selected during checkout. Orders placed during our pre-sale period(October/November) will ship out first in November/December. If you are rooting your cuttings in the spring, our cuttings can be kept in the refridgerator until you are ready to root them. They will be perfectly fine. That is what we do and they've turned into our most impressive trees.
Rooted Cuttings(Spring):
We begin shipping rooted cuttings once they are mature enough to ship. The shipping period typically begins late April and continues into June. Regardless of the date you select during checkout, we will ship when ready during that span. Please do not ask for ETA's or specific arrival dates. You will receive an email when your order ships with UPS Ground tracking details.
