0177: Calimyrna Fig

Order: Rosales
Family: Moraceae
Tribe: Ficeae
Genus: Ficus
Subgenus: Ficus
Species: F. carica

A year ago, Rick and I transplanted several fig shoots from his adult tree. I've been fostering them in pots for the past year but decided to plant the largest one at my parent's house in Potter Valley. The mother tree at Rick's house is known to be a Calimyrna fig, the California version of the Smyrna fig.

It was a very hot afternoon as we dug a large hole for the wire basket to protect it's roots from moles.
