Our Fig Tree

It's getting close to the end of the fig harvesting season.  We collected about 200 figs this year with the squirrels and opossums getting their paws on another hundred.  There's a cool history to this tree.  In the 1970s my grandfather cut a twig from a fig tree and gave it to my father.  He grew it into a fig tree at the house where I grew up.  Before my dad died he cut several twigs that I found after his death.  I took one and planted it.  Here's a picture.

Anyways, today I cut several twigs and placed them in a zip lock bag with moist peat moss.  Hopefully they'll sprout roots in a couple weeks.  Keep you posted.
