It’s so nice when a father and son have something they enjoy doing together. My husband is a barber and our older son also took up the trade and he can cut hair just as good as his father. He also has his own barbershop in New Jersey and has several people working for him. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your interview. Hope all your plans come to reality. .

So much to unpack here!

1) I'm so happy the hobby is spreading. I love that more and more people are talking about it. One day someone is going to mention they got a fig tree and we'll all be able to say, "yeah... I was doing it before it was cool"

2) Great to see families doing these things together

3) That is a staggering number of trees!!!!!!! Well done!

That is quite an operation. What are you guys going to do with all the fruits/trees?

Plant most inground, hopefully.

Thanks Teresa! That's is really special your husband and your son have something to share. Hopefully it will keep them close.

I'm looking forward sharing many years of fruit and time with my boy He is really something special in my eyes.

I feel the same way Joe - I hope we can spread the hobby and the love of this wonderful and productive endeavor.

It's really something to realize you are a link in human+plant symbiosis that goes back thousands of years!
