I've been slowly but surely training this edible fig for nearly 20 years into the glorious espalier it has become. It's on the west facing exterior of my house in the sunny Mission District of SF. The stucco holds the heat and allows the fruit to get SWEET and juicy. Since i'ts on the sidewalk, it's quite the show stopper and conversation starter. In fact when I prune I schedule double the time I really need because the neighbors and passerby need to talk! I get endless compliments but also many stories from people about their grandmas or great uncles fig and associated memories.

Wicker woven chairs with rich wooden furniture is not complete without a luscious palm. The Areca Palm with its thick lush leaves is the bane of jungle travel, but perfect for improving the mood of any room. Hailing from Madagascar, the Areca Palm, with its deep rich tropic decor, is sure to delight anyone who dreams of relaxing on a beach surrounded by greenery. Reaching upward at 38 inches and complete with a decorative patterned vase, it's an elegant addition anywhere.
