The great fig tree ... A grande figueira...




This is the famous fig tree situated in November XV Square, in downtown Florianopolis. In 1891, when it had around 20 years old, it was taken from its original garden and replanted here in the main downtown´s square. It´s very big and provides great shelter from the sun.
Esta é a famosa figueira da praça XV de novembro, no centro de Florianopolis. Em 1891, quando tinha cerca de 20 anos, foi retirada de seu jardim original e replantada aqui na praça mais importante do centro. Ela é muito grande é fornece um bom abrigo contra o sol forte.

  1. I have never seen such a large fig tree, does it still bear fruits? I have a fig tree in my garden; it is about 25 years old and gives us many figs. Every summer I make a lot of jam that I share with all my family and friends. It is delicious on hot toast.
