Fig is one of the oldest cultivated fruit trees in the world. Originated in the Mediterranean coast, it was introduced into China from Persia in Han Dynasty and into the Central Plains from Xinjiang in Tang Dynasty. Now it is cultivated in both the north and the south, mostly in southern Xinjiang. Figs like warm and humid climate, barren and dry, and are best planted in sandy loam with deep soil layer, loose and fertile soil and good drainage.
