We are blessed with a bountiful supply of fresh figs. We have planted six different varieties of figs, and enjoy the produce from twelve fig trees.

The fruit of a fig is pollinated by a unique insect, the Fig Wasp.
"In an orchard there should be enough to eat, enough to lay up, enough to be stolen, and enough to rot on the ground."
- James Boswell
The ants and birds eat to their hearts content. We all steal the fruit from these ancient trees.
