The figs, although not ripe were ginormous! What a prolific tree. Definitely worth a cutting to grow in my own yard. The variety is most likely a desert king.

Fig Hunting in Seattle
I had spotted this giant fig tree in Seattle a couple years back. I'm sorry I didn't snap a photo of it because it was just huge! I spoke to the owner and she said that it has been around for at least 40yrs. She mentioned I was free to take cuttings but at the time I wasn't interested in figs. Last week I happened to drive by the tree again and it was just loaded with figs. So regressing on my prior invitation I snapped off single branch off the tree.
The figs, although not ripe were ginormous! What a prolific tree. Definitely worth a cutting to grow in my own yard. The variety is most likely a desert king.
I hated to waste such delicious fruit but the tree probably was loaded with hundreds of pounds on it.

Where about is this tree? Is this the same one as the one in your cuttings video? Thanks!
