The fig tree in the diagram is enormous. Is it really that big? And what will they do with all the figs? (Pick your own, perhaps, from whatever the cafeterias can't sell.)

But I imagine it's hard to convince people to sell trees that big / transport them into buildings much larger than the one in the diagram. https://www.balboapark.org/attractions/moreton-bay-fig-tree https://www.balboapark.org/attractions/moreton-bay-fig-tree
