In the fall of 2007 I made a goal of planting 1000 trees....
“Trees are the best monuments that a man can erect to his own memory. They speak his praises without flattery, and they are blessings to children yet unborn.” – Lord Orrery, 1749

Family: Salicaceae (sal-i-KAY-see-ee)
Genus: Salix (SAL-iks)
Species: discolor (DIS-kol-or)

A friend passed this fig off to me. I planted it on the side of the house where I can espalier it on the west wall in the zone between house and fence I call "Death Alley" due to the warm afternoon heat. Here I have cacti and succulents thriving. I hope to give the fig the long warm season it needs to ripen it's fruit.
