Farmers in the house, can figs be successfully grown in Nigeria's kind of climate?
Especially, around the southern part of Nigeria.

I suspect it can. If not in south, it should in north because of their arid regions. Isreal and ME is arid.

Will definitely grow…. But Nigerian soil content and the environment cannot guarantee that what will come out will look exactly like the picture or even taste like it
…. Have u tried planting apple in Nigeria?? The outcome is one of nature’s hilarious moves

it will grow but you know it has no shelf life and will be eaten immediately,

I am planning to plant some myself I currently have 2 a smith and brown turkey

Okay. So, the type/quality of the soil determines the taste of the fruit?


Thankfully, I'm not a fan of apples.
I can totally do without them.

I agree. At least, we could still get to taste them.

Apples grow normally in Plateau state.

These facts are enough for Nigerian farmers not to go into cultivating the crops. A fruit that can only ripen on the tree and spoils within 3 days of harvest. Very risky investment

Do you want to check if Nigerian pastors can curse a fig tree like their boss did?

Definitely in the south

What does Nigerian apples look like

Jesus will just curse this one to wither again 🤗

Yes. I've seen it grow here and have also eaten it in the East.

The one I saw and ate is green coloured figs.

Modified:

What I ate was actually vine not fig. I had to check again to be sure.

Never heard this before

I think apples grow up North o, because they have all types of berries and even Chinese vegetables (cold weather plants).

We have plenty of fig trees in the north. Red, green, and yellow

I never see or chop this fruit before

Seen them grow in Ibadan and akwaibom

There are figs in Nigeria ever since. Only I may not know what specific species you are talking about. Wild/African figs ("ákpūr" in part of Igbo land) are in many places in my area. See pictures below. And they're edible

Is this the fig tree we were told about that could not bear fruits in the bible? Jesus ordered it to dye and it shrunked immediately.

Plateau and Benue is your best bet.

I see no reason why not.

But south if the country, I doubt it be cause judging by where it is popular. The Mediterranean areas and parts of the Mid east I guess it requires plenty of sun, not too much precipitation and a range of temperatures between cold and heat.

These characteristics are found in the middle belt at higher elevations, places such as Plateau and Adamawa should be the choice locations.

Okay, here you go.

I have seen fig trees in plateau state.

Is Nigeria in the Bible? Fig only grows in the biblical countries.

E no concern me.

I have seen it before, though I was young then.


I remember I was asking then, is this how onions are grown.

Look like a big onion to me then.

A lot of this in our farm, we didn't even plant it just appearing here and there
SE Abia state

There are lots of Fig trees in some part of the middle belt

You want to use it to know when the world will end? Bible say anytime fig tree starts drying up, then know the world is about to end.

LOL, how did those stories came to Africa and succeeded.?
