The Common Fig.(Ficus carica) is a large, deciduous shrub or small tree native to southwest Asia and the Mediterranean region (from Afghanistan to Portugal). It grows to a height of 6.9–10 metres (23–33 ft) tall, with smooth grey bark. The leaves are 12–25 centimetres (4.7–9.8 in) long and 10–18 centimetres (3.9–7.1 in) across, and deeply lobed with three or five lobes. The fruit is 3–5 centimetres (1.2–2.0 in) long, with a green skin, sometimes ripening towards purple or brown. The sap of the fig's green parts , can be an irritant to human skin. Persistent (or Common) figs do not need pollination; fruit develop through parthenocarpic means. This is the variety of fig most commonly grown by home gardeners. Adriatic, Black Mission, Brown Turkey, Brunswick, and Celeste are some representative cultivars. This information was acquired by wikipedia. I FIGured that it was a waste of time, in having to write all this out, when it's already available. These are the Figs i propagate! Non Specific, good old common figs. I also sell cutting's during the winter. The size is approximately 20cm each, and of those lengths, you can get at 'least 3 new trees. ![]() |
