5 metre Fig tree just fell on my carport

Trunk size 300mm diameter. There are a couple of tiny dents in the roofing, otherwise no damage. So it pays to have an architect and engineer designed garage!

I would say you were kinda lucky, go get a lotto ticket.

Your tree or neighbors? Firewood for next year?

Yes it's my tree. Firewood for a steam engine, but it will have to dry out first, Maybe next year.

Sounds like an act of God. Everyone knows god hates figs.

I don't like figs that much, so I give away thousands. The birds like them, and that keeps the birds away from my grapes and mandarins.
