Brocalet MP Tree Rare

Description

Summer Foliage Disclaimer

Our fig trees are grown outdoors under real world conditions, not in a controlled indoor grow room. During the heat of summer, it is completely normal for leaves to show cosmetic blemishes from environmental stress, fig bud mites, or mild expression of Fig Mosaic Virus (FMV). These issues are extremely common in outdoor grown fig trees and do not mean the plant is unhealthy.

Our focus is on growing strong, healthy, well rooted trees rather than producing flawless foliage. New growth often emerges much cleaner as the tree continues to grow and conditions improve.

If you are expecting perfect, blemish-free leaves in the middle of summer, our outdoor-grown trees may not meet those expectations. Cosmetic leaf imperfections are a normal part of growing figs outside, especially during periods of extreme heat. We believe healthy roots and vigorous growth are far more important than temporary leaf appearance. Hope this helps, Brian Currently with leaves! You are purchasing one (1) Brocalet (MP) fig tree, measuring approximately 12–16 inches tall, well rooted, and shipped bare root for safe and efficient transit.

Brocalet (MP) is a Spanish fig variety associated with the renowned fig collector and author Montserrat Pons, whose work helped preserve and document many traditional Mediterranean fig cultivars. The “MP” designation is commonly used by collectors to indicate varieties tied to his collection or documentation.

This variety is appreciated among fig enthusiasts for its excellent productivity, attractive fruit, and reliable performance.
