Trees are shipped live.  Occassionally, they are damaged, although this happens quite infrequently.  Many times, if they are damaged, the damaged or pruned area will spur regrowth.

We can fit most one gallon fig trees into USPS priority mail boxes.  Prices for shipping of these boxes is either $16.10 for a medium or $21.50 for the large.  Typically, we can fit two trees in a large flat rate box and will combine shipping on orders of two.
