Where did you get the figs from?

From the tree in my yard. When I bought this house in 92 it had 2 large fig trees in the yard but one was killed by the floodwaters of Katrina, but somehow the other survived, but was damaged badly and I basically cut most of it down.

It sent up new shoots that are now tree trunks with good foliage and a healthy crop of figs every year since 08, but it took about 3 years to recover.

I also lost a tangerine tree and a Loquat (Japanese Plum) tree to Katrina but didn't replace them.
