Fig Short History
It is a matter that in the 1880s, figs were the favorite fruit of the people in America, but figs were not cultivated in America, figs were imported from Turkey. People loved figs so much that their mouths would get watery after hearing the name of figs.
A newspaper used figs (gifts of insects) to increase its newspaper sales. He ordered several thousand pieces of figs from Turkey and gave it to his readers, which increased his readership. The people of America cared for him with great enthusiasm. Over time, figs trees were formed and coppice came on them.
The people of America were just waiting for the fruit to be buds. But despair hatched, no tree planted any fruit, all buds dried up. All conditions were favorable, yet the lack of fruit was a subject of research. A committee of experts was formed and a team was sent to Turkey.
Two types of fig trees
There the team noticed that there were two types of fig trees, one wild fig tree, and the other Smyrna fig tree. They saw small insects coming out of the wild fig trees and flying straight into the buds of Smyrna Fig.
In fact, these insects used to penetrate the female flowers of Smyrna figs to lay eggs but due to the intricate structure there they came out quickly but here they carried pollen of the male flower to the female flower.
So these were the insects that made the fig fruit, in fact, these insects played an important role in pollination. These insects carried pollen from male flowers and used to do the job of planting seeds. Then the team of American scientists took the wild fig tree and the kiddos with them.
Thus, we were able to find that this fig is a unique gift given to insects.
