fig tree
Mediterranean orchard plant
A fig tree is a tree or large shrub of the genus Ficus that produces figs, the sweet, soft fruit with many tiny seeds.
Native to the Mediterranean and western Asia, fig trees have been cultivated for thousands of years and appear prominently in religious texts, including the Bible's account of Adam and Eve using fig leaves for covering.
The trees thrive in warm climates and are known for their broad, lobed leaves and ability to fruit twice yearly.
