Overwintering figs

Some of my small plants in winter storage. If they are neatly stacked like this, each variety is easily accessible, should it be necessary to take cuttings for instance: two pots at most need to be moved aside to retrieve any plant. The pots have to be of equal dimensions of course to arrange them in this way, and the plants on the lower tier should not have too many low-lying lateral branches, although these can often be bent upwards and held there by the pots above, making for a more orderly branch structure in the spring.
In this room there are precisely 212 plants, all in 12 liter pots. Unfortunately there are many more, plus a load in 20 liter pots, not to mention those in 40 l pots.

Now don’t get me wrong I understand people love their hobbies but unless you’re planning a fig orchard this is over kill addiction. I wonder if there’s an intervention and rehab for severe fig addiction LOL. That’s one fantastic collection. That’s not a 5star collection it’s a perfect 10. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

@dondan that's some very clean stacking...
 
Way better than my stacking, mine looks like a tornado stacked them for me. lol
Then again, my storage area may be smaller, and some pots are different sizes.
