	Ficus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fig wasps grow in caprifigs but not in the other because the female trees' female flower part is too long for the wasp to successfully lay her eggs in them.
		The figs were grown some 11,400 years ago, and because they were of a mutation which could not reproduce normally, it is proposed that they may have been planted and cultivated intentionally, one thousand years before the next crops domesticated (wheat and rye).
		Figs and other dried fruit were measured for their antioxidant content.

	Port Jackson Fig - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Port Jackson Fig (Ficus rubiginosa), also known as the Little-leaf Fig or the Rusty Fig, is a native of eastern Australia.
		In most ways its appearance is that of a small version of its relative the Moreton Bay Fig, the Port Jackson being generally smaller, with smaller fruit and leaves.
		Having similar ranges in the wild they are often confused, the rusty colour of the undersides of the leaves of the Port Jackson Fig being the easiest distinguishing feature.

		In contrast, figs in fragmented forests of their native origin may be important and endangered resources upon which many other species depend, and whose survival requires active intervention.
		The Port Jackson fig and Moreton Bay fig were introduced to Hawai`i in the 1920’s, along with the Chinese Banyan, in hopes that they would naturalize and reforest watershed areas in Hawai`i.
		Although the Port Jackson fig has been established in areas around Hawai`i, such as Poamoho Trail, Gardner and Early (1996), report that, despite their abundance, the attempt to naturalize this species and the Moreton Bay fig was not successful.

	Species Guide Ficus Fig Bonsai
		Figs suitability for indoor growth is largely due to its tolerance of poor humidity levels and poor light levels that prevail in our centrally-heated homes.
		Figs are able to tolerate poor humidity levels and dry air with their thick waxy leaves.
		Figs bleed a milky, white sap (latex) when pruned and this can be used to seal wounds by dabbing with paper or a cloth.

	FIGIS - FAO/SIDP Species Identification Sheet: Heterodontus portusjacksoni
		While inshore, the Port Jackson shark favours caves with sandy floors and open trenches of shallow rocky reefs as daytime resting places, and almost all individuals in a given area will be found resting in relatively few of such sites.
		Port Jackson sharks are seasonal oviparous breeders, with juveniles segregating by size after hatching and adults segregating by sex.
		On the east coast of Australia the Port Jackson shark shows a pattern of migration southwards after breeding, with females migrating at least for 5 to 6 months and moving up to 850 km south of breeding reefs before returning to the same sites the next year.

	Burke's Backyard Archives 2003 - Figs with Maggots
		All the native evergreen figs, including the Port Jackson and Morton Bay figs, produce genuine fig fruit.
		Fig fruit forms from an enlarged, hollow stem base or ‘synconium’, which has masses of little flowers on its inside wall.
		If you ate the fruit from a Port Jackson or other native fig tree, you’d be eating a whole world in miniature including fruit, seeds, flowers, wasp eggs and larvae.

		The preparation of dishes at the Jackson House is classical in that the beauty of the plate follows the interplay of ingredients and their flavors.
		Braised for four to five hours in a natural beef jus, the succulent flavor of the lamb, its melting texture and the stew of tiny-size beans, mixed in a combination of natural juices and sauce, was powerful and entirely delicious.
		The plate was a perfectly sized portion of three distinct cheeses with fig walnut toast and a rough relish of dried cherries and apricots.

	SingaporeMoms - Parenting Encyclopedia - Fig
		Figs (Ficus) are a genus of about 800 species of woody trees, shrubs and vines in the family Moraceae, native throughout the tropics with a few species extending into the warm temperate zone.
		Thus the edible fig ripens without any wasp frass in it.
		For example, in Hawaii, some 60 species of figs have been introduced, but only four of the wasps that ferilize them have been introduced, so only four species of figs produce viable seeds there.

		A female fig wasp enters a syconium (fig) and galls the short styled female flowers while pollinating the long styled female flowers.
		Wingless male fig wasps emerge first from the galls, inseminate the females and then bore exit tunnels out of the fig for the winged females.
		The fig (syconium) acts as both flower and fruit but the true fruit are the achenes or drupes formed by the florets.” Ficus rubiginosa has monoeceous syconia (Dixon et al.

		A dominant feature of the vegetation within The University of Sydney and the adjoining Victoria Park is the large number of figs trees - both Port Jackson figs (Ficus rubiginosa) and Moreton Bay figs (Ficus macrophylla).
		Fig trees can be found along the fence between the University grounds and Victoria Park, along the City Road fence line, car park near St Paul's Oval and near the University Ovals.

	The figs ( ficus)
		Some of them, like in the case of the species Ficus carica - fig - or the Ficus sycomorus - sycamore - are eatable.
		The simple contact with these plants can develop photosensibility that is shown in form of bladders on the skin (See more information), So, we should be careful when manipulating these plants and in any case ingest its leaves or branches.
		Planted on the ground, most of them, if the conditions are favourable, reach a natural growth becoming true trees with big radical systems, so that, with their prolonged roots, can damage the human constructions.

	Ficus sp.
		We have just planted a Port Jackson Fig in our front yard,which overlooks the beach.We selected this species (ficus rubiginosa) on advice that it is quite salt tolerant.
		The basic hemiepiphytic form of a fig tree is that the seed sprouts up in another tree, and then sends roots growing down the host, and strangling it.
		Some of the other strangler figs get the banyan style aerial roots from the branches, but most are not capable of becoming fully independent trees.

		We have some very old trees such as the Port Jackson Fig which is over 100 years old and stands proudly in the middle of our playground and a Peppercorn Tree which is over sixty years old.
		We know that at night there are flying foxes in the fig trees and many beautiful native birds like rosellas and cockatoos in the early mornings at late afternoons.
		We were interested to find that Rock Creek has a nature trail and wondered how long it is. We were also interested in their bat houses as we have flying foxes/fruit bats which visit our fig trees.

		It self-seeds readily and has become a serious weed in rainforest areas of Australia.
		Many evergreen figs start out as indoor plants and then when they get too big, they are planted out in the garden.
		Planted in the garden, these figs develop into huge trees, with invasive roots that crack water pipes and damage foundations.
