Default Thank you everybody

Thank you all for your advise.

When I was a kid in the Bronx, my father always had at least a half dozen fig trees in each of the houses that he owned. I use to help him tie them up, bend them over, and cover them with newspapers leaves and dirt for the Winter. He grew white figs and purple ones.

Yes, the thicker trunks broke, but there were always five or six sprouts per root.
