Of course for total climbing pleasure this kid of leisure would usually choose
fig tree. With its very low entry point from
ground, right away you’re sitting half-way up in
middle of
tree. Our fig tree limbs formed a natural cradle allowing me to lay back with arms outstretched and relax just as well as any hammock. When
figs were in season it was a real treat just to reach out and grab a handful to snack on. Fairly often it became necessary to share
fig tree with passing birds because in choosing between fear of humans and
taste of ripe figs they always managed to be courageous.
Parents if you have
space to grow trees make sure your kids get to enjoy
wonderful pleasures of tree climbing. It will bless them with lifelong memories.
