Yesterday I decided to visit Costco to see if they carry Live Figs trees, after all it's a fruit tree season.
They had no trace of Fig Trees yet!
Disappointed I left Costco, after only 2 hrs of shopping, and as I was in front of my steering wheel I started to lough my sucks off and having conversation with God for his joke on me.

There it was , right in from of my car... in it's glory, a beautifig bush of a surprise to take a glance at what I missed.

What were they? Look like Black Mission. Here in Charlotte, they only had blueberries and apple trees.

This one was an in-ground planted one looking at me all the time I was parking my car.

Aaron,
Make sure you do not drive to a different Costco location, you will find more fig trees there, and more across the street, and more on a street 100 yards away :)
Who is going to take care of your synonyms' list if you get lost on a fig hunt?

Hi,
Yesterday got a phone call from the bro. He was shopping : "hey, there is a sale on figtrees, they are 50% off . they are labelled: 'figue noire d'Espagne'. Da ya want one? "
I'm sure I said no at least in the beginning then, perhaps, why not ?,and nyes , and ended with another figtree for 10€ . I still have not seen the beast .
He sent me a pic. The tree has a trunk and a canopy with 3 or 4 branches .
Well I think I'll convert a lila-tree to a fig-tree ...
It seems that in this season you can now find fig trees in every shop here .
