Grandparents BT 50 years old

Hello Forum,

Intro: I'm a new collector and have been lurking here for a few months, I admit that I'm an addict. I drove to my grandparents house this week to collect some figs for preserves and took a picture of how big this tree is. My cousins and I used to climb this fig tree when we were kids and it was much smaller, I'm not sure really how old this tree is now that both of my grandparents have passed but I'm now almost 40 myself so I'm guessing that it's close to 50 years old and still puts out great tasting figs and an abundant crop every year. Maybe one day my collection of trees will have the opportunity to get to this size. Just wanted to share. Thanks.
