The picture below is the first thing I see when I walk out of my front door. I was talking to him the other day and he was telling me that it makes him happy to see the neighbors walking by stop pick from the tree. He told me that the tree has only been there for a few years and it's parent tree was in the back yard but was destroyed by hurricane Ivan .The parent tree was there when they bought the place 20 years ago and was enormous then. He told me that I was welcome to all the figs I wanted, this put a smile on my face haha. My daughter and I sampled a few figs yesterday and they were so good, sweet and figgy, it made our eyes roll. I also compared the figs to my Marseilles fig that is starting to also turn. My fig was a rescue from last year that I found in the back of a local nursery with other unsightly plants. I was able to pick up the plant for just $5. My Marseilles could have used a few extra days on the tree, it was sweet but lacked the full flavor.
I was telling my neighbor about my trees and and offered to share a few with him and he said he would gladly plant them in his yard. Score! More planting space for figs. My neighbor plants his fruit along the road side, easily accessible for people walking by. I plan on planting along the road side beside my house in figs to match his yard.
