It isn't like it is in what you would call a yard.
Heaven forbid I would go into a yard and steal figs in Texas you could get shot.
It is growing in a weird spot against the back of a building with an apartment above and a gravel parking lot thing.
You can literally drive by and pick figs out the window of your car.
I have no idea who owns the tree as it is in a narrow space between the building and parking lot.
I'm sure the people in the apartment or what ever the heck it is would know.
The figs are huge and very tasty.
I do know someone is trimming the tree to keep the thing from growing into the drive cars go down.
