My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Fig Tree Options

16 years ago

I live in the Santa Clara Valley, CA and am looking to replace a mulberry tree with a fig tree for a courtyard planting. Any recommendations for a tree that will grow to about 15 feet? I was thinking about a flanders fig, but then I read somewhere that they are very susceptible to wasp infestation. Thank you for any input!
