Details
The Saint Anthony fig is somewhat of a chameleon depending on where it is grown. Under some conditions, it can appear light purple with cracked skin, while in other locations the skin is light yellow or green. It has been compared to many other Italian Honey type figs, but the jury is still out on whether this variety is unique. Some of the known benefits of Saint Anthony are that it is hardy and productive in the Mid-Atlantic region of the US, is resistant to cold, and resists splitting despite rain and humidity. Those anxious to get their hands on some delicious figs will be happy to learn that this is an early ripening variety.

When do we ship cuttings?
We begin shipping cuttings once the trees are dormant and in storage. Exact timing is weather dependent, but we usually start in mid December. We continue to ship throughout the winter and early spring until the trees begin to break dormancy, normally around mid-March.
***ALL CUTTINGS WILL BE SHIPPED BETWEEN DECEMBER 15, 2020 AND MARCH 15, 2021 REGARDLESS OF THE DATE SELECTED DURING CHECKOUT***
Your cuttings will be cut to order to ensure freshness and provide the greatest chance of rooting success. Cuttings will be a minimum length of 8”, with at least 3 nodes, and will be thicker than a #2 pencil (many are sharpie thickness or greater). Our mother trees are stored in a climate-controlled environment to keep the trees dormant and healthy through the winter and early spring, and the cuttings are guaranteed to arrive in perfect, ready to root, condition.
