Facts:

Botanically identified as Ficus carica L., it is unique in a genus embracing perhaps over 1,000 species, mostly giant "rubber trees", and mostly tropical. In June 2006, it was reported that figs dating back 11,400 years were discovered at Gilgal I, a village in the Lower Jordan Valley, just 8 miles north of ancient Jericho. This discovery makes figs the oldest domesticated crop.
