Found this fig tree in downtown Greenville SC

Can anyone tell how old this fig tree is? IMG_0395 - Edited (2).jpg


There is a public notice sign in the window and red solo cups with cuttings in them.I think the tree may be doomed? I am going to find out.I climbed the tree and got cuttings just in case. IMG_0397 - Edited (4).jpg 


Taller than a 2 story building. IMG_0398 - Edited (3).jpg 


looks to be 40 to 60 years old but just a guess

That tree looks like an old soul, beautiful trunk! Glad you had the chance to grab cuttings before anything happened to it!

Red cups as a sign of a doomed tree.

Innnnnnnteresting. And very astutely observed.

Wow, the trunk is beautiful. Get as many cuttings as possible. Sad but its good yo found it!

Thanks for posting grant. I see so many root suckers. Pull a few and plant them.

Mohab, how the heck did you see those suckers?! I had to enlarge the photo A LOT to see them! Good call!

Have you seen the figs from the tree

No. i have not seen the figs.I will find out this summer hopefully.I was really impressed with the tree because most of the trees i see growing in this area are much smaller and in a bush form.I found it odd that the tree was in a raised bed too.I will post more on this tree this summer.
