Hi everyone. Is it possible to ID an old fig tree without a fig fruit? Found this old beauty today in an older irrigated neighborhood in Phx . Looks like it was in a yard that has been turned into condos. I'll have to visit it in summer to look for fruit, Great knarly old tree with huge leaves. Love to hear your opinions.

I would for sure ask around to some of the residents. That's a fantastic tree and it didn't happen there by accident. Beautiful.

Black Mission was the first thing that came to my mind too. I have a baby BM and the leaf is really similar. __________________ In the book the "The Meaning of Trees" it is said the fig regulates the heart and that the true essence of Figs is...food for the soul.

That's a beautiful tree. It's amazing how well they grow in Arizona. The leaves look like those you'd find on a violette de Bordeaux

Oh a VDB! That would be cool. I've never seen or tasted one of those. That would be great! Can't wait to see what grows on this tree in 2016! __________________ In the book the "The Meaning of Trees" it is said the fig regulates the heart and that the true essence of Figs is...food for the soul.
