I've thought about finding this, or potentially building it if it doesn't exist. I was thinking for gardens and fruit trees. I'm particularly interested in well-suited plants because I will inevitably ignore them, and I'm hoping they can thrive without me. I'm planting figs this fall.

Fig trees are excellent. My wife has one in her gatden, snd after just a few years ee get so many tasty fruits from a pretty small tree. I live in Bay Area and pretty much it is just water it a bit and every so often cut back weeds.

  > pretty small tree. Im in New Zealand and made the mistake of planting one. It’s turning into a monster and they grow in every direction, fast. When in SF unnoticed what out Pohutakawa have done over your way and was fairly impressed at their growth.

    There's over 850 species of figs and many of them are edible. It's quite possible y'all are talking about different plants But, then again, the common fig also has many many cultivars with different growth habits and fruits

    It may be a different variety. My neighbors have had theirs in 3 years, and I think they bought...1 year old trees? I can't recall now. Anyhow, they are about four feet tall right now, and max height is 10-15 feet (4.5m).

  They are supposed to do well in my region, and require virtually zero maintenance after they're established. No insect pests ruin the fruit, which is a problem with nearly every other fruit tree in this area (the Ozarks). My neighbors have some figs and they really taste amazing, a lot like a peach. I'm getting the same variety, although the name escapes me now. They do get emptied out by local robbers sometimes--raccoons and possums--but otherwise no issues. I'm really excited to get them in, after seeing the success next door.
