I guess it needed all those roots since they were sitting in the open, baking sun all day. That is one tough little fig three! __________________ Zone 7b (Central Arkansas) Seven trees in the ground: Hardy Chicago, Celeste(?), LSU gold, Italian Black, Southern Brown Turkey(?), Strawberry Verte, and Unk yellow.

I wonder if you can SQUEEEEEZE those roots into a 5 gallon pot? I bet a 100 gallon would even be too small. __________________ Zone 6a Sarver, PA Wish list; Rafed's Genovese Nero

I've been trying to root figs the wrong way all along! I should just throw them up on my roof and watch them take off! Nate __________________ Nate Faith, Family, Friends, and Figs (not necessarily in that order).

Ya gotta love plants! My guess is those roots were sandwiched between or covered with a layer of some sort of roofing or sheeting to allow them to spread like that. __________________ WillsC's new fig forum: http://www.Ourfigs.com (and blueberries)
