We sell grafted fruit trees in various sizes, ranging from young 3-gallon plants all the way up to 25-gallon and larger, mature trees.
As a general rule of thumb, here’s what you can expect from each size:
3 gallon: Will take an average of 2-3 years before harvesting your first crop. Trees are small and may be just a single stem, or just starting to develop their first branches. Typical height is between 2-4 feet.
7 gallon: Will take an average of 1–2 years to produce a crop. Branching structure has started to develop, and trunks are between ½ to 1 inch thick. Typical height is between 3-6 feet.
15 gallon: You can usually expect fruit within a year of planting, and some trees are already fruiting at this size. Branch and canopy structure has taken shape and the tree is starting to grow wider. Trunks are between 1 to 1-½ inches thick. Typical height is 5-8 feet.
25 gallon and larger: These are mature trees, and most are ready to produce fruit or have already produced. They have been pruned and shaped multiple times at this point. Trunks are about 2” thick or larger. Typical height is 6-10 ft.
PLEASE NOTE: These descriptions are generalized - Some species of fruit trees are very quick to produce, and others take longer. For example, mulberry trees can start fruiting at a very young age, even as small as a 3 gallon. Mango, avocado, or sapodilla trees will take longer. Each species grows at a different rate and will take varying lengths of time to establish, and even different cultivars can be more precocious (quick to produce) than others.

Fig Tree ‘Texas Everbearing'
Description
Description
Latin name - Ficus carica
The Fig tree has been grown across the world since antiquity, and is one of the most historically referenced fruit trees ever. Fig trees can be extremely productive and grow very strongly in dry Mediterranean climates. In Florida, they can produce acceptably, but not their best due to some challenges with the high humidity and rainfall here. Despite this Fig trees are still worth growing because a home grown, tree ripened Fig is one of the most enjoyable fruits to eat.
The flavor of a Fig can range from berry, to honey, or even melon. When they are allowed to ripen fully on the tree, the sugars turn into a sweet nectar which can drip out of the “eye” of the fruit. Fig trees are well suited for container growing because they can be pruned heavily over the winter to be kept small, and fruit will develop on the new growth in spring. Figs ripen from late spring to mid fall. A crop of figs won’t all ripen at once, but just one or a few at a time.
In Florida, Fig trees can be affected by the presence of root knot nematodes, which can stunt the tree over time and in some cases, slowly kill it. For this reason and because they’re easy to handle as potted trees, we usually recommend growing Figs in containers. However, if you choose to plant your tree in the ground, you can still have success with some basic care. Just make sure the soil is very fertile and will receive adequate water, and mulch heavily. Fertilize in early spring, and again in late summer. Fig trees enjoy full sun and are very heat tolerant, in fact they are one of the most heat and sun-loving plants we grow and will perform excellently in hot Florida summers.
