The Fig Tree
I moved this fig tree, which is quite young, from being planted in the ground near this spot to being planted in this stock tank last year. I read about the fig tree's aggressive root system and got concerned about it being close to the house, so I dug it up (being suitably impressed with the root system it had developed in just a year) and containerized it. I read that containerizing fig trees helps increase yield, so that's a nice bonus too. I used a large container so as to water less and give it room to grow, and there was lots of nice space to underplant it. This photo is to help me remember (in the future) what I did this year.
