Has the end come? In 1900 this fig tree arrived here from Italy. The Gentleman passed on this three to his grandson. The grandson had this for almost 45 years. Knowing first hand the figs from this tree was delicious.
Well the Ohio State folks told my friend that he no longer needed to bury the roots every winter. Just keep the tree in a heated garage. Well he did that and as of yet there are no leaves or buds on the tree.
He usually has leaves on the tree the first week of May. But so far nothing. Let’s hope that the tree somehow survives and it’s 100 year history continues.
