I was just scrubbing and soaking some cuttings I got in the mail today, which included a thin 1.5" short tip cutting. I dumped out the water in my laundry slop sink and forgot about the little cutting, which evaded my every attempt to catch it before it swirled down the drain with the rest of the water. With fig cuttings being as resilient as they are, and being in the warm and highly fertile environment of my septic system, I wonder what the chances are that some day this fig tree will sprout out of my backyard -- having survived the trip through my septic tank and out into the drain field?
Wouldn't that be something?!?!
I'm going to pull off the trap of the sink drain tomorrow and see if it happened to get lodged in there.
Just after it happened, my first thought was that this will be just the urban legends of those baby pet alligators and caimans that people in New York City supposedly flush down the toilet...that grow into 12' monsters by feeding off the rats and garbage.
Cheers,
Jim
