Fig Tree

Last post from the Tour de Farms - at least for this year - is this fig tree. It wasn't one of the sites to see on the tour.   I just happened to see it behind a building and snapped a picture.

Did you know that Sumerian stone tables dating back to 2500 B.C. recorded the use of figs.  It is very heavily used in the middle east and Africa for a sweetener in place of sugar.  Being very sweet, they are perfect as a natural sweetener.
