Mysore Fig Tree From Mysore, India.

This majestic fig tree from Mysore, India was planted in Estero in 1896. Survived many a hurricane it still stands strong. This tree has stood strong while history has changed in the area in the 128 years since it was originally brought here and planted as a property marker. It was named the Florida State Champion Ficus Mysorensis. Come by and take a picture of this most unusual, impressive historical landmark. Joyce Kilmer expressed it perfectly in the poem 'Trees' :"the beauty of a tree with it's natural grace and connection to the earth, surpasses any art created by humans, essentially celebrating the majesty and wonder of nature itself."

You can feel the History, Wisdom and Strength of this Magnificent Giant! We love coming here just to sit and absorb the peacefulness.... Also the jam spreads that they make from the fruit is outstanding!! Other flavors too! We will be back!
