FIG - (Ficus carica) or Fig Tree that’s grown for both its delicious fruit and remarkable wood. While typically cultivated for its figs the wood of the fig tree offers its own set of exceptional qualities, making it a rare and valuable find for woodworkers and artisans. The Fig Tree is small, growing to a height of 15 to 30 feet. Preferring higher elevations in drier climates, fig trees are well-suited to areas with minimal rainfall.
Fig Tree wood is useful, particularly for smoking meats due to its sweet, coconut-and-almond aroma. It is also favored by artisans for carving, small woodworking projects, and turning, as it is soft, lightweight, and workable, although not ideal for heavy furniture.
