Hey nuts,
Last night I was at my deceased grandmothers (R.I.P.) home which was left to my father. The back yard is in rough condition since she's been gone (a little over 4 years) and my dad is beginning to do landscaping to clean it up some. While he was telling me his plans, I noticed a small fig that was right in the soon to be demolition zone so naturally I offered to take it. It was planted about 7 years ago as a 5gl nursery plant and has struggled it's entire life in the spot it was in. So it never got very big (but produced every year).
It has around a 3" fused base from all of the subtrunks it has. I plan to let it grow for a couple years to fuse more and put some bulk on.
I know it's not a great species because of leaf size, but I didn't really get anything when my grandmother passed so I'm happy to call this tree mine (she also loved plants) and remember her by it.
