What is a fig?

a yummy delicious fruit, most are kind of small, dark purple or dark brown in color when ripe, slightly pear shaped but much smaller than a pear, very sweet and kind of sticky, full of tiny seeds that are edible, and grow on short trees in warm climates. had a fig tree in my yard in florida (u.s.a.) when I was a little girl, they are tasty!

What is a fig?
there are different types of fig trees, not all are fruit bearing. While its true that they are associated with the middle east (hey Adam, put on a fig leaf, will ya!) The ornamental and fruiting varieties do well in the states, too. They enjoy acid soil and not having their roots kept wet - a little cold won't kill them, either.

There is a strange little wasp that helps in pollination - it enters the fruit - and stays there. The fruits are refreshingly moist, sweet, not stringy or fibrous, and not acid tasting. Eat 'em whole- delicious!
