Have you seen any so big fig in a pot?

I have taken the below photo from the web of a French nursery:

I know, probably it has been rooted up from the soil when it already was a big tree but , in any case, it is surprising. If you compare the size of the leaves with the trunk, it can easily size 15" or more in diameter.

I think you are right, that it was moved from ground to pot. They appear to be plastic pots, and the tree is too big, and thus far older than plastic pots. But, still impressive. 

Very interesting. Anyone want to tackle Root pruning these trees????? LOL.

Didn't you notice?
The pot has no bottom and the tree is actually in the ground.
I am from Ottawa and not from Missouri.

come on now.  i thought he was just throwing a jab at me.  i am from
missouri and i am the one who recently tackled the huge job of root pruning
(note the statement from peg919 that first referred to root pruning)
three trees in 25 gallon tubs.  ease off ottawan.  i think he meant he wasn't
as silly as me when he stated he was from ottawa not missouri.  yeah, i
know it sounds like someone from ottawa isn't as silly as someone in missouri,
but maybe the tone of his other posts would clarify that.  i have conversed
with him via the forum before and feel no afront.  if the shoe fits, admit it.  it
fits me.  my trees will go in the ground next spring and i won't be potting
anymore in 25 gallon tubs.

maybe we should use more smilley faces.  :-)

Sorry. I just misused a common proverb. Apology.
It just seems too big for a pot.

I wasn't poking fun at anyone. I just root pruned a tree from a 3 gal. pot and it was one heck of a job! With all the work I had with a small pot it just struck me funny to see those huge trees in such huge pots.
