RE: Religious inclinations vested on the FIG tree
Amazing background regarding this type of tree. @darkqueen Do you have personal experience with these trees by any chance? We used to have an American Chestnut tree here in the USA, but it's been wiped out by a blight imported from China in the early 20th century. It towered over the oak trees we see growing around the country now. Once a national treasure, it's now basically extinct. But at one time it was the oldest and tallest trees around like this one is.
These trees apparently are quite common in most rural homesteads.
