Im really sorry to hear that. It may not have been the owner of the lawn service. Maybe the owner fired someone after losing a customer and the fired person did it. I dont see any harm in calling the lawn service owner and asking him if he had any idea what might have happened.
I'm sure many of us are aware but for the few that don't, PLEASE do not buy BROWN TURKEY. It's by far one of the most inferior Figs.
I know that lot's of people don't love Brown Turkey, including influential ones like Jon Verdick (Figs4Fun man), but taste is such a personal thing that to completely condemn this popular variety seems a bit too strong. I inherited one when we bought our house. It's a beautiful, very productive little tree, and some of my friends and neighbors really enjoy the fruit. My tastes when it comes to figs, though, are similar to Tim's, and there are other varieties that taste better to me, but I can't complain about the performance of the plant. Would I plant a different variety knowing what I know now? Yes. Will I rip this productive and attractive little tree out of my yard? No.
I'd say, taste a Brown Turkey fig before you decide to buy this variety. You might love it. Or not.
[/url]I was asking more about symbiotic relationships in the root systems. I think benefits of trees that provide shade or something to climb on (trellising) is well known. I think Saltcayman's idea of nitrogen fixing legume trees do fit the bill. Unfortunately there are very few fruiting trees that fix nitrogen. Tamarind is a legume but it's one of the few legumes that don't fix nitrogen. Pigeon peas do fix nitrogen but not really usually considered a fruit.
I think Mike T's idea of different trees utlizing different nutrients in the soil also is along the lines of what i was asking about.
