A reader sent us this one, and it is a better find than anything on our list for this stretch of the seafront. A fig stands on the Passeig de Sagrera beside La Llotja, Palma's fifteenth century Gothic merchants' exchange, and lets down curtains of aerial roots from its branches toward the pavement, the way figs do when the air is warm and damp enough for them to try. Its neighbour in front of La Llotja is the largest lagunària in the Balearics, a protected tree with a register entry and a measured trunk. The fig has none of that. No catalogue we know of names it, so we cannot yet say which fig it is, how old it is or who planted it. If you know, tell us: the species, a girth from a tape measure, an old photograph or a story about it. That is how this page gets longer.
