Our neighbors are Greek. They have various trees; one of them being a fig tree. It overhangs our property, and they welcomed us to help ourselves to the figs. What a delight; so delicious.

@@ItsTbig we grow figs but I have never seen a fig tree. They grow on more like a bush with the bunch of stocks that grow out. Our two oldest fig trees are 30 years old and are only 10 ft tall. And they have been that height for 25 years.

@@JuarezDerrick Interesting, I suppose they grow different for everyone. They were planted in partial shade so I suppose they grew "leggy", and that legginess over time became an insanely massive, thick trunk on each. This could also depend on the variety, soil conditions and zone/climate; also mine were surely in the 50-60's so older as well and the soil in the area was incredibly fertile and didn't seem to run outta nutrients, lol. My grandfather did minimal pruning every decade or so to ensure the safety of the home, but generally left to grow out completely wild for almost a century. Blessed trees.

I bought a fig tree (It was a bare cutting 3 inches tall with the tiniest leaves) and as soon as I planted it in a slightly larger pot, the leaves tripled in size in a month and I was SHOCKED. Then one year later (this year) I saw it was growing a bud, thinking it was a flower bud. Then the bud turned into a fig and I was even more shocked. I know flowers need to be there to bear fruit so I was soooo confused! I can't believe they're inside-out flowers.

I had five figs trees at my house in Spain. An old Spanish farmer told me that they like to have 'Their head in the sun and their feet in the water.' It was great just to go out and pick a fig off the tree. I don't know what variety they where, however one produced green, the sweetest ' a couple had the darker soft fruit. One produced a dark colour but tougher textured skin that split very easily They all tasted wonderful.

@@afeminame the crunch is from seeds. You wouldn't be able to taste the bugs at all. Like the host said, they're almost microscopic. Plus they've been digested by the fig for nutrients. The total amount of "bug" in a ripe fig is basically zero. And there's also nothing wrong with eating bugs by the way. Maybe eating some fried crickets will alleviate your anxiety about bugs.

We all have our favorite Northern Bay Area backyard fig tree story... Ours was massive. Smooth gray bark It was the perfect climbing tree. We had huge ripening purple fruit on it providing us with either an instant snack or the perfect ambush weapon while hiding high above in its canopy. Eventually we would be driven out of the area by the wasps that were attracted by the thousands of fallen over-ripe fruit that littered the ground. My parents weren't interested in the fruit, the tree was there when they bought the house and the decades old tree stayed until they became annoyed with the mess and eventually cut it down. I bought a Chicago fig last year and planted it in a large pot. It had three figs on it last year. They were delicious😋

If you're Indonesian, you probably misidentified it. Here, they are quite "worshipped" because of the large Muslim population. It's not a native plants in Indo. But can still thrive easily in the region.

I love figs!! My grandmother/grandfather had a huge fig tree and every year during the early summer (in the southern US!) we would pick them from the trees hanging full ! My grandma would boil them with cane sugar and then can them! They are awesomely good on hot buttered biscuits!!!!

A lot of your food has some (small) amount of insect parts in it. It's unreasonable to expect that a tiny ant or something didn't get ground up when they ground up a entire silo of wheat to make bags of flour. The fruit is 3-5 cm wide and the tiny wasp is less than 2 mm in size. If you approximate them both as spheres then the wasp is less than (2/30)^3 of the fruit, or 0.03%.

TRUE FOOD TV Only if there are no Capri figs nearby. Otherwise fig wasps will enter any fig type - Common, Capri, San Pedro, or Smyrna (Calimyrna is a Smyrna variety). Granted most locations are unlikely to have Capri fig trees unless they are growing Smyrna or San Pedro type varieties. [Fig types follow Condit (1955).] Also, parthenocarpy is not the same as being self fertile, it means fruit development in the absence of pollination. I apologize if the concept is explained correctly in your other video.

Thats so cool. I might build an industrial cutter, that grinds down any plant waste to a fine shred. Buy loads of knives, attach them to a spindle, put them together so the knives pass between each other, make it spin super fast. Ultimate composter.
