This is in an alley of the City of Pasadena, CA, totally unexpected! I just couldn’t believe what I saw. Not far from the downtown. Every leaf has a piece of art listed in one of the photos. Sorry, didn’t taste the figs, they were not ripe yet and the cuttings were too large to take home :) Any guess about the variety? :D Enjoy!

That's very nice. Cities around here also have "artwork" in every alley, but nothing like that! :-) __________________ Phil - Zone 7A - Newark, DE Newbie fig lover just trying to learn.

certainly a new kind - it is a grapefig variety... I wonder if the artist meant to make the fig into a vine or just have no idea figs are not vines... it is beautiful art indeed. Thanks for sharing! Great posting. __________________ Grasa Seattle, WA

Hi, Not BT ! BT has 3 lobes and almost no thumbs. It looks like the hybrid vine from over the pond ( for me ) that is an hybrid between ficus pumila and ficus carica, but the leaves were sort of replaced with the carica leaves or an hybrid between a vine, a carica and an horse-chestnut-tree on the resulting vine. That's OGM art ! I doubt those are edible :) except perhaps for horses . Well, this is art . Hard sometimes to understand an artist ! But artists don't care for :) . __________________ ------------------------ Climate from -25°C to + 35°C Only cold hardy figtrees can make it here
