About the plant

Ficus Carica is native to western Asia. Because of its delicious fruits and the fact that these fruits are easy to store, cultivation of these trees quickly spread throughout the Mediterranean during the time of the Roman Empire. It was also the Romans who eventually introduced the fig to England. The leaf of the fig tree is known from depictions of Adam and Eve, but in classical paintings, the fig leaf is constantly used to cover parts of people. A fig tree is a hardy but deciduous tree and in winter, only the beautiful chalk-white trunk remains. The leaves are leathery and can grow incredibly large. The fruits of the fig tree ripen between July and September, after which they are edible. The fig tree is a very beautiful and easy plant and is a real asset for the garden, balcony or terrace.
