Maybe that was just the cat's name? :)

That is quite possible but I thought I'd give it a try anyway. Many people in town grow figs but the only ones I know don't care about names or varieties.

I have been using/recycling Fresh Step/Scoop Away cat litter
buckets too. I like the rectangular shape - more compact
storage in the winter inside the garage. Also the basic white
color (less the labels) - reflects heat. The wife hates them
though. Another small hiccup, is the two stick-up indentations
that makes drilling drainage holes on the bottom-vertical
sides rather tricky (for easy digging out, no bottom-horizontal
holes are desired -  else tough to sever them roots in the
fall). The size is a little less than my preferred 5 gallon
buckets, e.g., plaster-joint-compound ones. Both seem to
be UV resistant for a while (I had bad others that crumbled within 2 years).

Georgi and others interested in using/recycling containers for your figs might also look into buckets that contained pool chemicals. If you have any friends with inground pools who do their own pool maintenance they might be glad to get rid of them. Different chemicals come in different size buckets, some tall, some shorter and wider. I don't know the gal. size. I just eyeball it for the tree I'm planting. My brother has a pool and keeps me well supplied. He drills the holes for me too. I have the pots on the ground also. Periodically I turn the pot or move it a little bit so that the roots don't go into the ground too deep. It doesn't seem to bother the trees and saves a lot of digging in the fall. Hope these ideas help.
