My new Fig

Well the tree is of very good quality, but being a Hurricane Ian Casuality the price is a bit on the high side about double what I have paid for same size fruit trees so being a gardener I have worked very hard for 50 years plus and need to find more affordable fruit trees that the storm killed my property???
