I would love to get a fig tree with instructions on how to transplant it correctly.
Thank you

Sure! I'm in the Carolinas too, so shipping should be cheap!

It is sure difficult to presume what a person's attitude is by forum posts. They can say whatever they want and when it comes off very rude and mean they say it was taken wrong. I have sure seen that enough! I suppose a collection of posts over many days would be enough to make a firm decision on whether a person is disrespectful or just comes off that way.

Anyway I thought the seeds I had 'jolokia' were the hottest in the world.

I have seen toothache plant and it looks interesting. Not sure if I need seeds for it or not.


No longer a market virgin; looking forward to year two of being a professional grower.

I had a fig tree in NC and loved it, but they wouldn't survive here in NY, if you are referring to an edible kind of fig tree. Frowner

Actually, fig trees survive very well in Zones 6/7. Both in NY & here in the mountain foothills of VA (same zone). Back in NY, quite a few people have major success with both in-ground & tubbed fig trees, particularly if they're planted in a southern exposure backed against a wall or building. If not, many are wrapped thoroughly in burlap for the winter & come out just fine. I remember during my Long Island to Manhattan commuting days on the train passing through neighborhoods with many a wrapped up fig tree for the winter.

Here in VA, even though we're also in Zones 6/7, no one seems to even bother to wrap, & figs do just fine. I can't believe a fig tree or two wouldn't flourish anywhere in the Carolinas. Give it a try.

There are some figs that won't do well that far north, but any good garden center should have hardy versions for your area. Some actually do better in colder winters than in the "sunny south". I'm in zone 7 and haven't had problems with figs overwintering, even in our coldest winters.
