Due to health issues Franco wants to sell these 2 trees, he lives a few towns over and wrote me to post his pictures and he posted this on other forum as well.
As a note he lives south suburb of Chicago, i do not know what his price is for the 2 tree's thats between you and him.

If   "serious"  you can go to link to contact him through the other forum or i can send you his email i dont want to post it here.

He posted a little info about them in link below.

he asked me to post these pictures for him

I'm tempted to put it in my truck and take it home.

Do you think these would be good items for ebay? I know the cost of shipping would make them very expensive, but it's a rare opportunity to buy some really old trees.

Well i had a motor shipped from Ten when i had my 67 Chevelle by Yellow Freight sure its possibble but if my tree i would not want to ship one this size cause i would like to have kept it fully intact just for pickup.
If this tree had to be discarded for some reason i would not let that happen for it deserves a good home , but our funds are for family and kids at this time .

'67 Chevelle--nice!

Martin,

When you talk with Franco can you find out how much he wants?
I might purchase both trees and gift one to someone.

And ask him if a semi truck can go into his street.

Thanks Martin

How old are the trees, and have they always been container'd?


Wish I was closer...

Rafed i send you mail.
Jackster they are about 12 and 25 years old, not sure how long in containers .
Matt , yes it was lots of fun and lots of money put into it building it.

Wow! this is my goal to grow fig tree to this shape in the barrel!
Respect! I regret that I live so far, I would gather this one from you with a pleasure
