17 Mysore Fig Roots at Edison and Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers, Florida

These dramatic, above ground roots are at the base of an enormous Mysore Fig tree on the property of Henry Ford’s former winter home in Fort Myers. It is the largest one in the United States at over 105 feet tall. And if you like horticulture then you’ll love visiting the Edison and Ford Winter Estates. The 20 acre garden is filled with trees including grapefruit, orange, mangoes, lemons, limes and coconuts. You’ll also want to see the grove of rubber trees that were planted on the property as a joint research effort by Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and Harvey Firestone.
