fishacura,

There is an Italian Fig Tree Nursery in Boston that ships nice trees at a good price. www.figtrees.net/

I have purchased trees from them and I was well satisfied.

I live in AZ and I picked up a 5' branched Black Mission in a 5Gallon pot for $ 19.00 which is the norm for all common figs here. Its been re-potted and put into a 25gallon tree pot and is already leafing out. There were a lot of crappy trees there for the same price too. It really pays to go and pick out the best tree out of 25+ plus trees rather than getting whatever fits the best in a shipping box.

Last year, Cinnamonson Nursery carried Black Mission, Brown Turkey and Kadoota. It's right across the bridge (sort of) from Philly.

You may want to send Al (Italianfigtrees.com) an email if you are interested in one of his trees. I think it maybe a bit early for him, but it is worth a shot.

Rare Finds Nursery (I think that is their name) carried Peter's Honey last year. They are way overpriced.

Lowes in Philly is now carrying small fig trees. There is a nursery in Philadelphia called Bisiri Pansy House ( Bisirri Pansy Gardens 4600 Emerson Street - Philadelphia, PA. 215-333-6755) which sells larger fig trees cheap. Primex Nursery in Glenside sells figs trees which are a bit more expensive but their stuff is top notch.

Fishacura, which nursery did you pick? I'm looking for a fig tree in the Philadelphia area too.

Edible Landscape is not all that far south from you folks and Mike does have a lot of good fig trees to sell.
I had a chance to visit that place a few years back and he has some very good nursery stock.
Think that they have a sale going on right now
