No, that is cruel.

Just put moth balls in knee high stockings and tie to various places around the tree, and also put a few at the base of the tree. They hate the smell and will not go near the tree. Also, bugs hate the smell too, so it is great for fruit trees as well.

Mothballs are not safe to handle. You don't see them anymore because they have been found to cause cancer. Avoid the darn things.

they wont kill you but you'll get a stomach ache. why not eat the figs instead?

Ficus macrophylla, commonly known as the Moreton Bay Fig, is a large evergreen banyan tree of the Moraceae family that is a native of most of the eastern coast of Australia, from the Atherton Tableland in the north to the Illawarra in New South Wales, and Lord Howe Island. Its common name is derived from Moreton Bay in Queensland, Australia. It is best known for its beautiful buttress roots, which are also known for damaging municipal footpaths. (source Wikipedia).

Figs are know as "ANJEER"(ANN+JEER) in INDIA.

It is possible to graft an apple to fig tree. However, the hybrid will likely not be viable or fruit-producing.

Human baked treats like fig newtons, cake, cookies, etc. have too much sugar for a parrot. If you have accidentally fed fig newtons to your parrot, and your parrot liked it, you can substitute more healthful treats that are similar. Look for dried fruit treats at your pet supply store or in online stores like Fosters Smith (see related link). Make sure that these are the kind specifically made for pets. Dried fruit treats for people, like you find in the grocery store, usually have added sugar or preservatives that could make your bird sick. You can make a bird-safe newton-like treat by carefully slicing a piece of plain whole wheat toast partway so it makes a pocket (like a pita pocket) and stuffing dried fruit inside. This turns the treat into a foraging toy with a fruit surprise inside. As with all treats, make sure it is an appropriate size for your bird and doesn't displace too much of your bird's regular food.

Strangler figs adapt to rainforest environments by starting their life as epiphytes, germinating in the canopy of larger trees where they receive ample sunlight. As they grow, their roots descend to the ground, encircling and eventually strangling the host tree, which provides support and resources. This growth strategy allows them to compete effectively for light and nutrients while thriving in the dense, competitive ecosystem of the rainforest. Additionally, their fleshy fruits attract various animals, aiding in seed dispersal and ensuring their propagation throughout the forest.

California figs are available from June through September. Some European figs are often available throughout autumn. Dried figs are available throughout the year.

Yes, a fig is the fruit of a fig tree; that makes it 100 percent suitable for vegetarians.

Not necessarily. Figs are pollinated by wasps and some die inside and don't make it out. Although the fig ultimately dissolves the wasp within, there is still a dead female wasp inside and so some vegetarians would consider that eating a dead animal. There is no way to "wash" the insect off the fig.

Figs do not require a large garden space. They may be grown in a container, such as the patio containers found in regular garden stores. This approach is actually encouraged for colder climates so that the tree may be moved indoors during the colder months.

Yes, we grow fig trees in Huntington, IN. My brother-in-law grows fig trees in Rockford, IL. The trick seems to be wintering the trees. We dig them up half way around the roots and lay them down on the ground. Then we trim all the leaves and remaining figs off the trees. Next, we place an old throwrug over the top of the entire tree. We place bricks around the rug's edges to keep it in place and to protect the tree from winter wind. Lastly, we place mulch rather high over all the rug.

In the spring after the last frost, we bring the trees back to a standing position, fill in any depression made from digging it up in the fall, then give it water, and wait until we can harvest the figs. I hope this helps

Cut it open and scrape out the insides if you think the skin is too tough.

Basically, "Fig Newtons" are a "jelly roll" with the "cookie" being made first,

then a fig puree spread over half of the cookie,

then the other half of the cookie folded over it

(for the record, Nabisco doesn't refer to it as a cookie!).

If you want to make your own, here's a recipe:

A date is the edible fruit of the date palm tree. Dried plums are called prunes.

Prunes are dried fruit and dates are a type of fruit that can be eaten raw or dried and come from a date tree. a fig comes a flowering plant.

You can buy dried fig leaves as used for fig leaf tea from : Lkreitzer@juno.com I grow hundreds of fig trees for my fig nursery every year and I save the leaves and sell them for their medicinal value and good chamomile like taste. Fig leaves which are NOT poisonous are good for balancing blood sugar( Type 1 and 2 Diabetes), reducing cholesterol and stimulating blood circulation. An x con named Martha Stewart uses them to wrap 4 ounces of wild Alaskan salmon after drizzling them with olive oil; coarse salt and fresh ground black pepper. I believe she bakes them for 8 minutes at 300 degrees. Fresh fig leaves imbue what you wrap inside it with a toasted coconut flavor and wonderful moisture. Fig wood can be soaked for an hour and used to smoke all foods with its coconut like flavor with a hint of burnt marshmallow.

No, figs do not need to be peeled before making preserves. However, you do want to rinse the figs off before doing anything with them, just to make sure there's no dirt or pesticides on them.

The guava fruit is native to the tropics, so if you live in a warm area it shouldn't be too hard to find. Outside the tropics one would have to search out an imported fruit and vegetable store. Major cities would have stores such as these, but it might be harder to find outside the urban areas.

You cut open and slice insdes out if it is too tough. D not theer can eat these figs, but not whole tree.
