Figs!

This is the "Fig Tree that Ate Stafford County". It gets bigger and bigger every year. They're really not supposed to get this big...Mom cuts branches off on a regular basis, and replants them. Sometimes they survive and grow into trees themselves!



This is the "Son of Fig Tree that Ate Stafford County". Actually, it's really more like a clone! This came from a cutting that Mom planted a few years ago. It bore fruit after a year.



The figs won't be ripe until mid to late August. Once they're ripe, we'll have more than we can eat. Some get dried, some are made into preserves. When we have parties in August, guests eat them right off of the tree!
