The common fig is grown for its edible fruit throughout the temperate world.

The common fig tree also sprouts from the root and stolon issues.

There are basically three varieties of common figs:

The common fig Ficus carica is pollinated by Blastophaga psenes.

Ficus carica (Common fig)

The Tropical house, 70 F, contains fruiting plants and trees such as the common fig, calamondin orange and bloodleaf banana.

Many figs are grown for their fruit, though only Ficus carica, the Common Fig, is cultivated to any extent for human consumption.

It is a banyan of the genus Ficus which contains around 750 species worldwide in warm climates, including the common fig (Ficus carica).

The genus Carica was given that name by Linnaeus because the leaves of these plants are like those of the common fig (Ficus carica).

The Common Fig (Ficus carica) is a gynodioecious plant, which means its fruits are either hermaphrodite and "inedible figs" or caprifigs.

Psoralen occurs naturally in the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia, as well as in the common fig, celery, parsley and West Indian satinwood.

Fig Tree or The Fig Tree most often refers to the common fig, a tree cultivated for its edible fruit.

The Common Fig tree is cited in the Bible, where in Genesis 3:7, Adam and Eve cover their nakedness with fig leaves.

According to the USDA, 100 g of dried, uncooked fruit of the Common Fig (Ficus carica) contains the following:

The hermaphrodite Common Figs are called "inedible figs" or caprifigs; in traditional culture in the Mediterranean region they were considered food for goats (Capra aegagrus).

Fig wasps grow in Common Fig caprifigs but not in the female syconiums because the female flower is too long for the wasp to successfully lay her eggs in them.

Some parthenocarpic ('virgin fruit') cultivars of Common Figs do not require pollination at all, and will produce a crop of seedless edible figs without caprifigs or fig wasps.

The Common fig tree has been cultivated since ancient times and grows wild in dry and sunny areas, with deep and fresh soil; also in rocky areas, from sea level to 1,700 meters.

Ficus, a genus (including the common fig) of about 850 species of woody trees, shrubs, vines, epiphytes, and hemiepiphytse in the family Moraceae, collectively known as fig trees or figs.

The common fig (Ficus carica) is a species of flowering plant in the genus Ficus, from the family Moraceae, known as the common fig, or just the fig.

In Bengali, where the Common Fig is called dumur, it is referenced in a proverb: tumi jeno dumurer phool hoe gele ("You have become [invisible like] the dumur flower").

Common fig tree is mostly a phreatophyte that lives in areas with standing or running water, grows well in the valleys of the rivers and ravines saving no water, having strong need of water that is extracted from the ground.

The Common Fig (F. carica) is a temperate species native to southwest Asia and the Mediterranean region (from Afghanistan to Portugal), which has been widely cultivated from ancient times for its fruit, also referred to as figs.

The woodland has suffered bigger alterations, since most autochthonous species like the common fig or the pyrenaean oak (Quercus pyrenaica) are now reduced to symbolic representation by the reforestation of nearly one fourth of the surface with pine trees and eucalyptus.
