I'm going back to school at South Seattle Community College, and while walking around campus I noticed there's at least 6 figs. These two are big ones by one of the academic buildings and are covered in brebas, I'm assuming that they're Desert King, but don't know yet. There's four smaller ones near the cafeteria, but they don't have any fruit on them so I'm assuming they're a different variety.

Congratulations in more ways than one.

Thats awsome when you stumble upon figs that you can get too!!!

What a fun discovery!  Make friends with the gardener so when it's time, you can get cuttings.

It's great when you can find a hidden treasure like that one. Congratulations !!!!

Ah  Now you have a use for all your empty beer cups.   Makes nice little cutting container for your windowsill. Thoughtful way to recycle.  Have fun

When I told Mrs K that I was going back to school ,this morning, she thought I was nuts! Then I showed her this topic and it all made perfect sense!
SSCC HERE I COME. oh and I'm bringing my pruning shears!!! ;)

There's a giant tree next to Franklin Highschool in South Seattle.

Seems like the PNW winters are no problem for figs!

wow great find...crazy if that was anywere in NY the tree would be naked 2 mins after it was found.  

Josh, Thanks for sharing your fig find at the SSCC campus.  I stopped by campus the other day after an appointment I had in West Seattle.  It was only a short visit, as it was much to hot out for me.  This is NOT typical Seattle weather and I would really like to see the rain return and the temperatures to drop.  Anyway, I didn't see the trees in your post, but I did locate the four next to the PBA Building.  The tree on the north is most definitely not a desert king.  There were a few figs, that are about 4 inches long.  Picture posted of this tree.  The other three trees only had tiny fig buds.           

Oh ok cool, I haven't looked at the smaller ones in a while, I'll have to go give them a peek. As for the bigger ones those are up against the building on the other side of the cafeteria from where the younger ones if you happen to head over that way again.

It's nice to see the figs are still on campus at South Seattle. I attended there over a decade ago, and loved watching them grow throughout the year.

Man I'm on the wrong side of Washington haha.

I forgot to mention this last time, but since you're studying in the area, behind the nearby Southwest Public Library there is a fig tree that's been there as long as I can remember. The owners use it as a privacy hedge between them and the library.

Thanks Ema! I'll have to check that out :)
