fig tree and who to order from?

That twig will grow though even though it was not what you ordered - plant the lower section horizontally about 6"-8" deep with the bent bit vertically sticking through the ground - protect it from the frosts for the next month or two and it will romp away. You actually don't even need the root - so you could cut it in half and end up with two plants - just plant the upper section horizontally with the tip poking through the ground and it will take.

Thought I'd update to let you know how it went. Got half the £18 refunded by the seller and chopped off the top half before planting in a pot and putting up in the unheated loft room. Buds started to break and so I've moved it to a warm sunny windowsill and you can almost see it growing 



I cut the other bit into two, the middle section planted horizontally and is rooting and the top bit vertically.

I've built my 'fig pot', but I'll probably grow it on inside the greenhouse for it's first year before transplanting next spring.



Plenty of wall to cover and it's south facing, so should get plenty of sun and a bit of frost protection - Yes, I know I need to give my greenhouse a bit of a clean

Now*you have to renew the roof on the outhouse so you can get on it to pick the figs !


* In the next five years !

Yes,

I don't think I need to rush that job
