[Ag-eq] Update on "Fig Watch"

[Tracy Carcione]

Wow, a banyan tree!  Did it just come up by itself, or did you plant
something?
If it grows figs, isn't it a fig tree?  Hmmm.

Subject: [Ag-eq] Update on "Fig Watch"

Last night, I went out to inspect my * fig:  still singular I am sorry to
say:  and found that it 
had increased in size by about a ', and had, very slightly, or so I thought,
elongated a little.
I have been calling the promiscuous seedling a bush, as, in my amateurish
opinion, it didn't warrant 
being called a tree, or that is what I thought until earlier today.
and what happened earlier today I hear my wrapt audience asking?
I was taking in my daily dose of "The Chase:  UK"  and Bradley asked the
question:
"What fruit grows on a banyan tree?"  A:  avacado,;
B:   somethingor other:  a fruit that some of  you may never have heard of;
C:  fig"?
As happens in about 95% of the correct answers, it was C:  fig, so my rather
prosaic fig bush has 
become a rather exotic banyan tree!
