Christian bought a VERY small little fig tree when he was in his Ph.D. program at Arizona State. When he got a job in at Cambridge, MA, he donated the tree to us. We kept it growing through a move from Washington to Texas. It produced two or three figs each year, but it did not prosper. Lorena pruned one of the two trunks last year and this year it has taken off. It looks like there are four figs growing on it (they are small, but SUPER sweet) and it is about twice as tall as last year. There is another spur growing off the bottom, so Lorena is going to try to prune that and start a second tree in the same pot. We are not sure it is possible, but we are investigating it on the Internet.
