Life at BBG
Tree of 40 Fruit
In a conference room at real estate services firm BBG’s downtown Dallas office building, an oil painting of a fruit tree hangs on one of the walls. The painting exudes a visually stunning presence that immediately captures the attention of those inside the room and passersby.
The painting, created by Austin artist Jared Dunten, depicts a multicolored blossoming tree called “The Tree of 40 Fruit”, conceived by Syracuse University professor Sam Van Aken who grafted buds from various trees to create trees that produce 40 different varieties of stone fruits, or fruits with pits. Aken’s trees have been planted at different locations across the country.
But the painting is more than just Dunten’s interpretation of Aken’s work: It symbolizes how all living things are capable of remaining resilient while enduring hardship, a trait that allows Dunten to attain notable achievements despite living with a severe physical disability.
