1. Common Fig Tree
As you would probably guess from the name, this is probably the most common fig tree variant. It is incredibly popular in the US, where many grow it in institutions and home gardens.
The unique feature of these fig trees lies in the fact that they do not have any proper seeds. Owing to this fact, they do not require to be pollinated either, so you can practically grow them anywhere you deem fit.
Figs growing from the Common fig tree can withstand insect attacks. They are also unsusceptible to rotting as they do not feature any opening allowing rainwater, which could affect the fruit, to penetrate. The Common fig is probably the only species of fig that can stay consistently good for an extensive period.
6. Smyrna Fig Tree
Usually pollinated by the caprifigs, the Smyrna bears female flowers. Based on its geographical location, it is also interchangeably known as the Calimyrna fig tree. The species is known for its soft and delicious-tasting figs with high fiber content.
While consuming these figs fresh, you will notice their striking greenish-yellow hue. But when dried, they will immediately assume a light golden hue. At this stage, they also taste like nuts.
