I'm trying to learn the gardening ropes by observation so I'm trying
to observe and get into the habit of actually writing down what I
observe until I have a sense of what happens when with which plants
in our climate. I have what I believe to be a Black Mission fig tree
in my back yard. I've noticed that it seems to be leafing and
fruiting at the same time. That is, the leaf buds have popped and
there are what appear to be tiny green figs waxing in size. I didn't
see any flowers. Did I just miss something here or is this something
special about figs or this fig?
