Figs are a true favorite that have withstood the test of time. They are probably one of the first fruits to be dried and stored by man and were noted to have existed as early as 2000 BC.
Figs have been cultivated in the Eastern Mediterranean area for thousands of years. Archaeologists like Daniel Zohary think it was one of the first fruits domesticated--as early as 4000 B. C. Sumerian scribes writing on clay tablets around 2500 BC in the reign of King Drukagina mention figs as do the earliest books in the Bible. In the New Testament, one of Jesus' parables deals with a fig that failed to produce. His remedy to apply fertilizer and care was highly appropriate. The Spanish were the first to bring the fig to the United States (Florida by 1575). The Spanish Franciscan missionaries brought figs into California when they established a mission at San Diego in 1769. The fig they brought is "Mission." And, it is still a significant commercial fig. The Anglo-Americans who moved to California liked the "Mission" fig, but wanted all of the finest varieties and began importing cuttings and plants privately. The San Francisco Bulletin organized a campaign to establish the very best fig, the Sari Lop, from Smyrna, Turkey.
