Hi James
Actually it is a complex of 3-4 completely separate trunk systems of the same variety, forming a single canopy.

Hi, I heard that in the "Chicago suburbs" there is a guy that has some space left :) ... I just couldn't resist ... ( as this is a light colored fig ...) That tree will probably not fruit this year, but it will next year ... So the owner should take good care and fertilize well this year to help the tree recover.
