Where can I buy a Fig Tree?

18 years ago

Has anyone spotted any variety of Fig Tree available at ANY SE MI. garden centers lately?? I've been poking around, but wasn't looking for figs. I want to try a fig tree in a large container, but am not sure if any are even available for purchase in this area. I'll cross-post in the fig forum, but was hoping some friendly local would have a suggestion.

Thanks!

I picked up a Brown Turkey at Telly's last week for $20. Ten inch pot with four branchs 12-18" long. I was very pleased. I also saw BTs at English Gardens. $50 for a tree trained to a 30" single leader. I thought this a bit steep.
I'm still interested in a Hardy Chicago, so if anyone sees one...
Hope this helps,
Dan
