Many researchers claim that the Middle East is the origin of Ficus Carica the common fig.
Archeologists have discovered remains of fig trees in cultivation in Jordan valley tracing back to 4000 BC.
There are hundreds of varieties in that region that deserves a lot of attention; the local agricultural departments have paid little attention to evaluate the different types of figs from that area.
ficus carica is considered to be one the oldest fruit trees in the Mediterranean zone.
A famous fig breeder and researcher named Ira Condit mentioned that Syria and Anatolia are the natural habitats of the fig tree and from there it was transferred to North Africa, Spain, Mexico, Chile, Peru and California (Mueot laal ., 1960). Fig Tree Middle eastern was also transported to South America via France and to Mesopotamia, Iran and India from Anatolia (Condit, 1947; Condit, 1955).
The fig fruit was well known by ancient Egyptians. It was called “Tun” which could
be the origin of Arabic “Teen”.
The Latin scientific name is Ficus. Ancient findings related to the fig tree dates back to 5000 BC in Egyptian
archeological sites. Relics and traces of fig cultivation were also found in Palmyra in Syria and Babylon in Iraq.”
