I’ve been out of town for the most part of 3 weeks, prime fig eatin’ time. At least The Warden made me some fig preserves.

I feel the need for a fig and peanut butter sammich comin’ on.

Would love to have some if anyone has extra…

Fig wine. Pair with fried mudfish.

I would sure like to plant a couple of those figs if anyone has some to spare. Willing to pay or may have something fishing related you may need.

Question is, would it grow OK on Ladys Island with the very sandy soil??

Thanks all,

I see you have a sophisticated and decerning southern palate, as well. Enjoy.

Come get a cutting anytime.

I’ve planted one on the hunting property and the soil there is sandy. Seems to be doing fine so far, but it’s only been in the ground three months.

I would be happy to root you some cuttings off of ours. This one started from a cutting, which came from a cutting off another, which came from another. Not sure exactly where the parent tree came from, but it’s well over 100 years old.

Strange, yalls figs are ripe and 100 miles north of us. Our figs are still 2 weeks from getting ripe.

I know one thing, in two weeks you better keep your dog from under that tree, or you’re gonna have a mess on your hands if he comes inside the house…

This dog won’t even poop inside his 2 acre yard, he goes out to the woods. In the house, never :smiley:

Mrs. Cracker reminded me where our fig trees came from. Her dad took a few cuttings when nobody was looking from a tree at Fort Pulaski in Savannah. It was planted before the civil war and is still there. He planted the cuttings when she was a kid. When we got married and bought our first house, he gave us some cuttings from his trees and we grew some fine figs for a long time. Sold that house, but we took cuttings from our trees and planted them here 20 years ago. This tree’s bloodline pre-dates the war of northern aggression.

Yours will look like that, in another 150 years:smiley:

Really amazing that they can live that long and still be so healthy. No telling how many fig trees have come from that one.

No it won’t; I’ve been cutting mine back but all it seems to do is make it flourish…

I’ve got a question about my fig tree. Every year after the last fig is gone, the leaves dry up and die. Anyone else’s fig tree do that?
