Im making the two hour drive to Ray Nesci tommorow morning and just wondering what sort of quality and size of fig i could get for 50-60 dollars as a starter tree???

With 50-60 dollars you are best to keep your options open as to species and you will walk away with stock that has a great future.
But back to your question.... Hmmm If you are lucky it may have a trunk that is about 40-60mmmm wide but figs don't grow that fast in NSW.
Best to see what is in season for value for money.

true bretts,thankyou!!

You will get some good stuff from ray for $60. You will have to ask him to find something tho.

For $25 I picked up a fig at Riverview today. It was about 6" across the base and about 8ft high. I had to cut the roots off under the pot from the ground and had to move another first which was even bigger, but had to leave it there as I had run out of money

Still leaning up against a wire fence out the back.

Ray gets the figs in batches, good ones go pretty fast... (sorry )

You should be able to grab a nice fat little one, I got one for $40 that was 4 inches across with great taper, I have a thread on it here somewhere.

There you go, if you get there on the right day, you can find this size in a too small pot for $40. They should be in $60 pots though for the size.
