[QUOTE="Christoph1945, post: 7910401, member: 42426"] Way back in the early seventies I was introduced to fresh figs at the local market in Izmit Turkey and from then on was deeply in love with the juicy and succulent flesh of the fresh fig. Upon retuning home after a seven month secondment I eventually planted a fig twig into a root restricting tub and placed it in our south facing back garden. Over the following years the twig grew into a bush and eventually a tree but the tub kept it from over growing the area. Every year our fig tree produced an abundance of fruits and our daughter, who loved fresh figs, would turn up every year to harvest in a goodly supply of fruit. Interestingly, the fig is often spoken of in religious literature but I was impressed by the tree not being showy in producing vast spectacular flowers but no flowers (as such) at all. When I very first saw the purple skinned figs in Turkey I thought that they were flogging tulip bulbs but eventually was persuaded to try one. As for the leeches on sale in old jam jars, I declined a trial! :eek: [/QUOTE]
