Fantastic link. Thanks. Now you have me thinking about something else I want to try! Just need the time, space and independent financial means (I have none of these).

Is this method done for harvesting purposes?  Its interesting.. Makes me think.. for some reason I feel sorry for those trees lol. So natural and no unnatural. It reminds me of a tree bookcase with fruit on the shelves.

I saw some fig tree pictures similar quite some time back it must have been a link or something on the other forum, the tree's may have been in japan growing similar . Interesting to see different ways, thanks for shareing the pictures.

The pix were taken by Ken Love who is doing fig trials in Hawaii.
