Look like common blanco... Make you wonder although about how we pot and soil them... The lights we put over... Normally tree under bridge is watered backwards... Mean natural water gutter above on road is constant waterflow like hydroponics. But when tis large it finds pure clay more or less. Zoom in first photo and see giant root at top of curved wall top left? No soil. No nothing. Just happy root.
Is not uncommon to see fico grow out from bridges. Italia use more of clay mortar for construction or plaster and USA use cement. Roots push threw hard clay.
Is belle tree and photo.Last edited by Taverna78; 01-24-2016, 06:06 PM.Zone 5 Chicago IL Wish list:

It looks like that fig tree got started by a viable seed which was probably left there from a bird who likely did it's business on the ceiling of the bridge. Which got me thinking, I assume this part of Italy has the fig wasp polinating figs in the area. So does anyone know what parts of Italy has got the fig wasp?Queens NYC - Zone 7b
