Monday 10th, September : A Fig tree!
I have chosen to pair with a fig tree. This tree is struggling just outside our library door. I have decided to help it. So many questions come to my mind : Does it need a replant? A bigger pot ? More sun ? Is it sick ? I know each ficus tree pairs with one specific ant ; Does this one miss its ant? So many answers to search for ! I will take this year to explore its ecology and to help it !

Friday 21 september : Replanting
I've decided to give more space to my fig tree. I hope he will make it during this delicate replantation phase. If all goes well, I'll need to water it at least twice a week during the full coming year !
Thursday 8th, November : Checking on cuttings
I've taken 3 cuttings from the fig tree. I've placed them in a glass of water. 6 weeks later, 2 have died, 1 have given roots. Will I be able to produced a new tree from it? To be continued...

Visiting a fig-tree at Tai O
A fig tree on wheels to get most of the sun, less of the rain.
In cage to avoid figs getting stolen
Many air-layering to multiply the tree and to offer it ("the more you offer, the more to get")
