Balafi (MP) is a Spanish fig that was part of Montserrat Pons’ fig collection, indicated by MP in its name. Pons named the fig for the Balearic Islands estate, called Balafi, where it was found growing wild. Pons noted that the tree was fast growing, had mostly 3 and 5 lobed leaves, and produced a prolific harvest. Balafi (MP) is a common variety, not requiring wasp pollination and produces one main crop per year. Upon its arrival in the US, fig growers have noted that Balafi (MP) has adjusted well to a variety of climates.

When do we ship cuttings?
Non-Rooted Cuttings(November/December):
We begin to ship cuttings once the trees are dormant and in a shippable state. Exact timing is weather dependent, but we usually start in November. Shipping continues throughout the winter and early spring. We stop shipping when the trees begin to break dormancy, normally around mid-March.
**All non-rooted cuttings ship between November and March regardless of the date selected during checkout. Orders placed during our pre-sale period(October/November) will ship out first in November/December. If you are rooting your cuttings in the spring, our cuttings can be kept in the refridgerator until you are ready to root them. They will be perfectly fine. That is what we do and they've turned into our most impressive trees.
Rooted Cuttings(Spring):
We begin shipping rooted cuttings once they are mature enough to ship. The shipping period typically begins late April and continues into June. Regardless of the date you select during checkout, we will ship when ready during that span. Please do not ask for ETA's or specific arrival dates. You will receive an email when your order ships with UPS Ground tracking details.
