About 1 km from my orchard there is a row of fig trees. Two of these trees are very big, about 7 meters
tall, with a canopy that covers several square meters.
Probably the trees are 50 years old or more.
Maybe, from the photos, you don't realize the true scale of these ones.


   

Whow Fico, those trees are huge. Do they produce good fruit? Any idea as to the variety? Do you think you could spare a cutting? Just kidding

It is nice to see huge fig trees like that.
They must no longer be in production or they must need platforms to pick the figs...LOL

These are trees of the variety Niedda, i mentioned it in other topics.
Trees of this size are quite common here, mostly of this variety.
Unfortunately are abandoned, and some are damaged by fire and cattle, but are very productive.

To pick fruit isn't difficult due to the height, branches touch the ground.
The harvest:
 

In this field i found two great other varieties that there were no trees in my village, one white, that i don't know the name, and another called Murra (=grizzled in sardinian), because it's neither black or white, that i was looking for a long time. I'll talk about in august, when ripen fruits.

Where are you?

I live in Sardinia!

Nice looking fruit Fico. Never mind cuttings, could I just have one of the abandoned trees? Why are they abandoned? Are they from old homesteads that the people moved away from or is the fruit to common to be desired? Are the figs caprified? Sorry about 40 questions but inquiring minds

Hi Hershell, trees are abandoned because are in a field used for grazing, but fortunately isn't fenced and anyone can go to collect fruits. Here fruit trees are very common along the roads, and passers-by can pick figs, pears, prickly pears, and other.
This field is located a few meters from a river, where caprifig is widespread, so these figs are  definitely caprified.

Fico,

You are in a fig Heaven !!
Checked your climate recently and to my surprise it's very mild and ideal for all sorts of figs and all other Med. fruit.

Thank you Francisco,

the climate is typical mediterranean, i live at 39th parallel, so it's favorable for all mediterranean fruits, and near the coast also grow tropical fruits like mangoes or lychees, there are some plantations.
My village  it's a little colder, but grow well citrus and avocado, for example.

Two other big specimens, same variety:


  

Other trees found in an oakwood. These trees are surrounded by tall oaks, covered with ivy,

and despite everything, resist.
