The fruit bat eats the figs tree's fruit. The bat drops seeds as it eats and expells the seeds it digestes far from the parent tree, allowing the seeds to have plenty of nutrients and space. So the bat has food to eat, and the tree reproduces.
no, as long as there is no chocolate. matter of fact they are probly good for them if they are whole grain and real fruit. but dont give them too many, too much of any food will make a dog sick, and it will puke. or have diarrhea.
they are producers only mostly mushrooms and moss are decomposers anything thats mainly a green plant are producers
first They send their roots to the ground, when it reaches the ground it gives food and water to the tree, then as the tree grows it sends more and more roots to the ground for nutrient, minerals, and water. :)
In the wild the fruit is eaten by an animal and the seed pass through the gut and out in manure this disperses the seed.
Yes, they form some of the largest trees in the forest.
strangler figs strangle other trees to get to the top of the canopy to get more light
Mediterranean countries, such as Greece, Libya and Italy.
Biggest fig producer in the world is Turkey (27 % of the world's total fig production). Then comes Egypt and Morocco and such. More than half of dried figs in the world are produced in Turkey.
Bees are good for pollinating your garden. Although they can be bothersome, bees certainly don't sting as rapidly (only if bothered) as wasps. If you want to garden in peace, the best time is in the evening when the bees are at their most dormant state and return to the hive.
Wiki s contributors share tips on getting rid of bees:
1. Call a pest control person, who will kill the bees with poison. If he/she is thorough, he will then open up the wall, remove the dead bees and comb, and seal up the outside entrance so you are not re-infested. You will then need to patch up the wall (or hire a contractor to do so). There are 2 drawbacks with this approach: a) You and your home have been exposed to poison; b) The pest control person can be expensive.
2. Call a beekeeper. You should be able to locate one by contacting your State or County beekeeper's organization. Sometimes your local fire company or the police may be able to refer you to a beekeeper. Be sure the beekeeper is experienced with "removals." He should be able to provide references, and should have the proper equipment including a "bee vac" as well as ladders, power saw(s), hand saw(s), and other tools. Beekeepers are often motivated by the fact that at the end of the removal, they will own a new queen and swarm of bees. For this reason, a beekeeper is likely to be less expensive than a pest control person. If the beekeeper is planning to capture the swarm and queen alive, he will not use poisons on the bees, and you and your home will not be exposed to any poisons. You even may be able to convince the beekeeper (beforehand) to share any honey he collects from the hive over and above what is needed by the bees. I hope you'll consider calling a beekeeper rather than a pest control person should you find yourself with a honeybee infestation.

YOU MAY BE NOT FERTILIZING ENOUGH OR TOO MUCH. YOU COULD HAVE A PEST THAT IS IRRITATING THE FRUIT STEM. FLOWERS MAY NOT BE GETTING ENOUGH POLLENATION. YOUR BEST BET IS TO TAKE A PIECE OF TWIG WITH LEAFS ON IT AND A FIG THAT HAS FALLEN OFF TO YOUR LOCAL AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION OFFICE, THERE IS ONE IN ALMOST EVERY COUNTY IN THE UNITED STATES.......START WITH THE WHITE PAGES OF YOUR PHONEBOOK UNDER GOVERNMENT LISTINGS. YOU CAN USE THEM FOR ALL YOUR GARDENING QUESTIONS AND ITS FREE UNLESS THEY HAVE TO SEND SAMPLE OUT OF OFFICE FOR TESTING THEN ITS A MINIMAL FEE. A bit more about the pollination problem which is a very common reason why figs drop prematurely.
Some varieties need pollinators while others don't. Smyrna is among those that do. They need the wild caprifig as a pollinator and even then you need the fig wasp to access the pollen. The Adriatic or common fig varieties are simpler in that they don't require pollination. San Pedro varieties need pollination for their second crop only.
Fig trees planted at the beginning of the dormant season often develop root systems before leafing out in the spring. This can be advantageous; however, young trees are more susceptible to cold injury. Most fig tree roots are close to the soil surface and can easily dry out. Therefore, apply water to the trees as drying develops. If you observe slight leaf wilting is an indication of water stress, water more frequently during hot weather. Mulching helps maintain uniform soil moisture and reduces weed competition.
Figs do not require regular pruning. Prune fig trees annually during the first three growing seasons to establish desired shape. Generally, fig trees do not require regular fertilizing. Excessive applications of nitrogen can have a negative effect on fruit quality.
A fig tree will grow almost anywhere especially in Florida. To keep the leaves shiny use milk and a sponge. Beer and dish liquid use in a sprayer will keep the bugs off use 1 can of beer and one ounce of dish liquid. This is good for your yard too.
Choose a fig tree variety that will do well in your climate. Figs can be grown as far north as the coast of Long Island, but most do best in a warm climate such as southern California.
Select a location for planting. Figs need some sun to propagate well and do best in full sun. The roots are vigorous so keep the tree away from septic tanks and sewer lines.
Start a tree from a hardwood cutting by taking a stem with three or four joints and place it in a container with well-drained soil. Keep the cuttings wet, but not too wet.
Remove the suckers that form at the fig tree's ground level. The pruning of a fig tree is less work if you let it grow in a bush style rather than a single trunk.
Fertilize if you want to increase your fig yield. The fig tree does well without fertilization, but feeding the tree will increase its fruit production. If you're going to fertilize, do it during the growing season from spring until late summer. Spread it around the base of each tree once a month and then water it thoroughly.
Water every week to every three weeks during dry spells depending on the soil.
Trees grown in N. Fl. will produce within 2-5 years from just a single cutting.
Grew my first Fig tree on balcony in Ontario Canada and produced 12 figs in second summer...delicious!
