Ficus carica (Fig)

Edible fig is a small deciduous or semi evergreen large shrub.This ancient fruit was one of the earliest in cultivation, along with olives, pomegranates and dates.The plant originally is dioecious, meaning shrubs have either male or female flowers . By now many varieties are parthenocarp, which means does not need pollination to produce fruit.The leaves are large deeply lobed. It can grow well in any climate cold or hot, drought or wet. Prefers full sun. This easy-to-grow shrub offers a tropical look to temperate regions and makes a perfect edible addition to large garden spaces
