Just like the tree, it's culture to put the tree on top and hold the branches. Great knowledge, culture. Otherwise, by breaking the branches and deforming them, it would help a plant that would be rapacious and in turn give a new future. Culture: working. Help grow. Sometimes to the point of being a completely different plant. We make a new plant with ourselves.

They have a beautiful and spectacular example in Formentera. Spectacular, truly, one of those who deserve a visit. We move further to get to know a lot of worse things... It is called “Na Blanca d’en Mestre” and is a fig tree, Ficus carica. He lives in Es Pla d’en Mestre, about a hundred years old and a shade of 356 square meters.

The fig tree is a tree that comes into effect and grows rapidly after it is glued. But it's made of weak, soft, off-white wood. Because it grows fast or because it wants to grow faster? What is the reason why hardwood is not made? On the one hand, the lack of solid wood and permanent stinginess allows for rapid growth. It needs less energy. It will grow faster. On the other hand, the creation of a soft wood causes the branches to tilt and fall soon. When he touches land, he will give him roots and there, through that branch, the new fig tree linked to his mother will grow. She also grows the branches, they bend, they take root, they stick and the new plants return; a chain that never ends. If peace were to be given to the fig tree, it would reach all around, forming a tree that emerged from the ever-widening branch, expanded and expanded, which would be a gigantic and unique fig tree.

That’s “Na Blanca d’en Mestre”. The branches that tend to bend as they grow have been replaced by a crutch, a gafa. The branches march forward, supported by the agape, and the new theme and the new future. Up to 356 square meters of fig tree, farewell from large goat and herd herds. It's an architectural lesson. They say it's a construction. I say that it is culture, a monument that holds 143 themes. In 1992 they gave it that name, apparently the biggest slice in Europe.
