Source: USDA Nutrient Database </Td> </Tr> <P> The common fig is grown for its edible fruit throughout the temperate world . It is also grown as an ornamental tree, and in the UK the cultivars' Brown Turkey' and' Ice Crystal' (mainly grown for its unusual foliage) have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit . </P> <P> Figs can be found in continental climates with hot summers as far north as Hungary and Moravia and can be harvested up to four times per year . Thousands of cultivars, most named, have been developed as human migration brought the fig to many places outside its natural range . Figs plants can be propagated by seed or by vegetative methods . Vegetative propagation is quicker and more reliable, as it does not yield the inedible caprifigs . Seeds germinate readily in moist conditions and grow rapidly once established . For vegetative propagation, shoots with buds can be planted in well - watered soil in the spring or summer, or a branch can be scratched to expose the bast (inner bark) and pinned to the ground to allow roots to develop . </P> <P> Two crops of figs can be produced each year . The first or breba crop develops in the spring on last year's shoot growth . The main fig crop develops on the current year's shoot growth and ripens in the late summer or fall . The main crop is generally superior in quantity and quality, but some cultivars such as' Black Mission',' Croisic', and' Ventura' produce good breba crops . </P>
