Great post! Oddly enough, I have recently developed an appreciation for figs. Where I have been living, in the desert of Australia, we have deep gorges that contain permanent water and remanent species fig trees. The gorges they live in are mostly rock, and some of the higher up trees have roots that stretch over thirty meters to the aquifers below. You can see their roots poking out of the walls of the gorge, and when you look up, you can see that beautiful fig tree drinking up the sunlight at the top of the gorge wall.
