Fig adventure in Europe

Thanks, Steve for the link . Through it, I read some info saying that the picture was taken in June 2010 . From that date to the present time, it is less than 6 years.
If you look back the pictures that I have posted before, you can see a huge difference in growth and in size between the fig tree in the link (1) and the one I saw recently (2). Especially number 1 does not have this part

Not only one but a few trunks like that around the base of the tree. How in 6 years, can additional fallen trunks grow with so many nods (bumps) exactly like the ones of the  main trunk  ???? Is that something strange ?

I will look for an old fig tree in Europe and sit under its branches ( no foliage at this time of the year) to pray . Yes, the truth will set me free ... and NOTHING can make me tremble 







In forums, I just joked around about fig hunting (because people in these forums are just interested about figs, nothing else) but deep down in my heart, my trip to Europe was seriously a pilgrimage to pray for the return of someone important to my life who was kidnapped ...

The owner of this hat is somewhere but his spirit is here with me  .
It looks like the hat is in a giant palm of the fig God...
May God bless us !




"Oh my gosh Mai. That old fig looks like an ancient Ganesha god still living on this earth.  A remover of obstacles.   Jodi"

Yes, Jodi . I believe in divinity as I have said many times before . You can LOL about my superstition , but I do believe that all trees (that survive over 100 years on earth) have their God.

Yes, Jodi, I did sit under that tree, and most importantly I DID HUG THAT FIG TREE of the Ship at Dunwich

Hugging a 400 year old tree ? yes, maybe I am the only one who did that so far ...
I honor it and  I respect all the old trees .

Can someone identify its variety by chance, or too early ?

Too early Mai.but my guess is that what ever it is it is going to love all the heat and sunshine in Texas, you may be the first one to eat a ripe fig from that 400 year old tree!
