Depending on the species, the seeds of figs can be large, up to 30 units in the fruit, and to a very small range – up to 1600 pieces per figs.
Figs growing thrives in tropical areas with rolling hills at 800-1800 meters above sea level. In winter, the tree can withstand up to 20 degrees below zero in places favorable for other natural indicators. When growing figs for the production of fresh fruits, the area should have a fly climate with mild spring rains, as the abundance of moisture during the ripening of the fruit cracking and contributes to their rapid deterioration. Semi-arid tropical and subtropical regions of the world are perfect for growing figs, if available sources for irrigation. However, very hot dry periods cause fruit drop, even with the implementation of irrigation.
