While in Peru, I happened upun this interesting tree.
It was in the Sacred Valley, just north of Cusco. The
elevation was around 9,500 feet.There was a light fog
when the pic was taken, in the early AM.
 
The bole was about 20" in diameter; it was at a 45
degree angle to the north. I never realized the figs
could get this big. The canopy grew back mostly
towards the south.
 
There was at least 1,000 young figs on this tree!
