    Fig Tree
    If you’re planting it in the ground outdoors, it’s best to plant Fig Trees beside a structure, like a brick wall or other plants. This ensures that your Fig Trees get proper exposure without too much sunlight.

    Looks like a Fig tree. Low, spreading, dense stalks shooting out from the center? Mine is probably 25' in diameter and ten feet high. It's spreading out and taking over the yard. Mine doesn't look like it will ever become tree-like, but it's great shade for the turtles and the squirrels have to try to beat me to the fruit.

    I suppose it could be some variety of fig , the fruits look similar but the leaves are sort of glossy instead of fuzzy like the figs in my yard and they are all tear shaped instead of the split in the middle like the ones at home.

    Lots of different types of Fig Trees, some are more fuzzy than others and the fruit colors are even very different,

    UncleMorgan I like peeling bananas and (occasionally) people.

    Sacred Fig. Very common in Thailand. Edible leaves, lots of health benefits.

    Looks a whole lot like avocado.

    Open up one of those fruits. They look like WALNUT.
