After the Gingko biloba the fig tree is my second favourite!!! I was so happy when I found out that some kinds also can grow here in Germany - they are frost resistant.
I have three of them in the garden. It is always a wonderful and delicious harvest in autumn!
About Figleaves:
In the book of Genesis in the Bible, Adam and Eve clad themselves with fig leaves after eating the "Forbidden fruit" from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil. Likewise, fig leaves, or depictions of fig leaves, have long been used to cover the genitals of nude figures in painting and sculpture. Often these fig leaves were added by art collectors or exhibitors long after the original work was completed. The use of the fig leaf as a protector of modesty or shield of some kind has entered the language.
The biblical quote "each man under his own vine and fig tree" (1 Kings 4:25) has been used to denote peace and prosperity.
