Introducing the next hot fig variety... I call it "gutter"

[snarfing]

a friend in italy sent me this pic today. The cigarettes really add to the flavor

Looks very healthy. The cigs may be keeping certain bugs off it.

Figar fig.

Wow, the Gutter fig - finally, a variety that thrives exactly where my last graft attempts ended up. . Can’t wait to taste the ‘oops-we-forgot-to-rinse-it’ flavour!

Taking advantage of every square inch, or I guess I should say square centimeter, LoL
As hopelessly addicted Figfanatic's we should take a lesson in how to fit more trees into the collection.

Someone needs to start a mobile fig rescue.
Be on scene and repot that poor tree and give it a home. lol

That is funny
but on a serious note Isn't that essentially a trench? I thought I saw in a previous post someone had a picture of a trench for their figs to protect them from winter ... So that is a really protected optimal growth environment aside from the cigarette mulch lololol ... Wonder how long it's been growing there. Figs are flipping amazing plants.

I wish it was found here in America, so that we can have it in our collection but it will be the next fig hype.

Don't they grow all over rocky areas and cliffs in the Mediterranean? Very similar to concrete gutter, minus the cigarette butts.
