We had picked up one of those fig tree sprouts that you can find at the big box home stores, a handful of years ago. Got it in the ground, it grew a little, not a whole lot.
Then we had a rather rambunctious puppy for a handful of months, who absolutely chewed on everything. Up to and including our new fig tree. Next thing we know, it's basically down to the ground and doesn't even look like it's there any more.
A couple of years later it begins to sprout once again! I could not believe it. Now it's been a few more seasons, and while it's not exactly a tree - rather a fig bush - it's doing pretty well for us. It hasn't really produced, but maybe in the next couple of years.
