It's true for a mere $560,808.46 dollars you can have your own Fig tree wardrobe made out of 600 hand formed and signed by the artist fig leaves "hurry while supplies last"

Go for it!  You know you want one.

Each leaf representing a different variety.

actually I want 2 "His And Hers" 

Do they take PayPal?

Do they ship two day priority? You know me, I can't wait.

Don't bother... The leaves are probably from Brown Turkey. Perhaps Martin will commission one made with leaves from good dark fig varieties.

Partly true story - I was notified today my credit card security was compromised. I'd go for it otherwise!

Well is that an English Brown turkey or is it a California BT? 

It's a Laradek BT.

Snazzy! It'll make a great hunting blind.

What are you going to do in that blind John?

Hold a fig in your hand and whisper here kitty kitty kitty and clobber it with a bat with the other hand?

Igor, the fraud attempt on my card was from an international origin.  And I have not even started fig hunting in Europe yet.

Harvey,

Someone in Europe is doing it for you. Now that's what I call classy people. Always lending a helping hand.

Shhh...don't tell APHIS! :)

Be vewy vewy qwiet. I'm hunting wabbits, wacoons, sqwols, and anything else eating my figs.

well I can see the wabbits and sqwols, but wacoons?  I don't think they would taste good to eat, but reportedly they make a nice hat. 

What about deer?  Do they eat figs?

Probably needs an import license and a phyto.

I may just stay in there and eat the fig - my Figgy Fortress of Solitude.

OK John, are you a Doc Savage reader?

If $560,808.46 is too much I bet you can talk them down to $550,000.

Second thoughts, for that much you might want to make your own :)

For that kind of money; feeling for any spare change in my empty pockets,
I would wish more for some well needed space (acreage-land) to nourish
all my fig collection, rather than that pure-ugly-junk-gismo!

just wait till i win powerball.. lol.. seriously.. that looks wonderful.

Enamels are a difficult medium, and the rest of the materials used to fabricate this "tree' are very expensive.  There must be thousands of man hours put into the making of this fancy bush.  At least it's easy on the eyes, unlike some other crap that passes for "art".

Ars Gratia Artis...."Art, for art's sake".
