Bummer. How did that happen Gene? Wasn't in your yard?

My neighbor sprayed roundup under the tree I usually get mine from. (In another neighbor's yard) Really stunted the growth this year. Very few leaves or figs. Will not get enough to can any. I did the same thing 5 years ago to the tree, so we won't do that again.

Randy, I had to cut mine down and plant another in a different place. While waiting for it to mature I'd been getting some from my BIL who had a tree but doesn't eat the figs. For some reason he chopped it down. I only found out 2 days ago. Now the search goes on.
