Fig trees are deciduous trees or shrubs belonging to the genus Ficus. They are known for their large, lobed leaves and sweet, edible fruits called figs. These trees thrive in warm climates and can grow up to 30 feet tall, making them a popular choice for gardens and orchards. Figs are unique because they have a symbiotic relationship with a specific type of wasp, known as the fig wasp. This tiny insect helps pollinate the flowers inside the fig, allowing the fruit to develop. Figs are not only delicious but also rich in nutrients, making them a healthy snack option.
