I had a truck load of branches to bring home that day . It took me 10 hours to cut them into small sticks and another 2 days to pot all the branches (that I am planning to do bonsai with them)
here are some of the cuttings. There was a total of more than 850 cuttings . Please do not mind the name on the bags. I just recycled old plastic bags that belonged to people who sold their cuttings to me )r

The next day , I brought an electric Saw-All, 2 shovels, and a number of plastic bags . Hired a Mexican guy at the Labor center to go along .
The Hungarian lady asked "what are you going to do with the fig tree ?"
I joked " I am going to grind all the trunks into powder and make medicine with it "
"for what kinda treatment ?"
"leaves for Sadness. Fruit for Depression . Roots for Mental troubles . Trunk for Laziness .. You name it !."
"Really ?'
"Yah ! this is a precious tree "
"Well, you are going to make a fortune ! I think I was crazy to sell it . I need to keep one branch "
I laughed , laughed and laughed ...
Using a shovel the guy started to dig around the tree . We both thought that the tree was 10 year old (the owner told us so)

But when all the dead leaves around the tree base were removed, my Gosh ! what you saw before was just some branches that belonged to a huge tree underneath .

. The more we took the dirt out (and it was muddy ) the more we discovered that the diameter of that base was about 1 meter . No way that we can dig the whole thing in one piece . Way tooooooo big and roots were crawling everywhere .
What should we do ??? use a crane ?
