I want to plant creeping fig plants around my dog run, but I will be bringing home a new puppy soon and I'm anticipating she will destroy some. They will be on the opposite side of the fence, but puppies work magic. Just want to make sure they won't make her sick
Are creeping fig plants dangerous to animals (puppies)?
From what I've just read, the sap from Creeping Fig may cause a rash after contact with mouth or skin. See nothing more serious. See site:

Reply:HI I looked it up for you and they say that the berries that they produce are toxic to dogs.
You can do a Internet seach like I did and then you can look to see which one are OK.
I just typed in toxic plants to dogs. It came up with a whole list of plants and flowers and trees that are toxic to dog.
Good luck with your seach!c
Reply:Info. on dangerous houseplants to pets- www.apcc.aspca.org Good luck with your new pup!
Reply:your regular vet should be able to answer this qustion more specifically, but figs (gourds) acccording to the ASPCA are OK, Ficus varieties are dangerous.
I would be more worried about the pup gettting a forgein body in it's GI tract than anything else. Check with your regular vet to be sure.

How many fig newtons equal one serving of fruit?
I have re-discovered fig newtons! I tell myself they're healthier for me than regular cookies because they have fruit in them, but I want to know -- am I fooling myself? How many do I have to eat to get one serving of fruit?
How many fig newtons equal one serving of fruit?
You should eat some fig newtons and more real fruit. Just becaust it has fruit in it, it doesn't mean it's healthy. Especially because the figs were probably cooked in the process and that destroys some vitamins. Also, you're getting all of the extra sugar and empty calories with it.

Reply:I am not sure of the exact number but, here is what you do : Eat fig newtons until you end up in your doctors office. At this point tell him or her how many you have eaten (that will be your number). The Doc will put you on a very strict diet and then you will get your serving of fruit.
Formula:

__________ = diet ( serving of fruit)

Will creeping fig (Ficus pumila) attach itself to shade cloth which is attached to a wrought iron fence?
The shade cloth is attached to a fence on the east side. Location of yard is in San Diego about one mile inland from the beach. I would like to plant creeping fig and have it eventually cover the whole fence.
Will creeping fig (Ficus pumila) attach itself to shade cloth which is attached to a wrought iron fence?
Probably. Creeping fig attaches itself to just about any surface through aerial roots. You may have to get the vine started by pining or tying it to the shade cloth, but is should attach and grow from there.

Is 'the fig' gesture offensive in Japan or Korea?
I know that the gesture known as 'the fig', where the thumb pokes out between the index and middle finger is offensive in Russia, Turkey and Greece. I'd heard that it was equally rude in Japan and Korea. Is that true?

Biodiversity in fig tree?
insects,animals and birds which depend on fig tree for their survival?
Biodiversity in fig tree?
In the tree or on the ground the fig fruits are eaten by many animals, including birds, bats, monkeys, and animals living on the forest floor. These animals help scatter the fig seeds to other locations in the forest. Thus, while accomplishing its own reproduction, the fig tree also enables successful reproduction by the fig wasp, and provides food for many animals of the forest.
Fig wasp larvae somehow prevent the fig from ripening, thus increasing the likelihood of their survival (i.e. they mature to adult wasps and escape from the fig before it ripens and is eaten by some animal). But even inside the fig they are not totally safe! There is still another kind of wasp (the "fig wasp" parasitic wasp) that drills a small hole into the fig and deposits her egg near a developing fig wasp larva; the larva hatching from the egg survives by eating the fig wasp larva.

Why are fig nutons stuck together in the package?
whenever i open a fresh pack of yummy fig nuton bars they are always hard to break apart from eachother. what makes them so different from other cookies?
Why are fig nutons stuck together in the package?
It is most likely the moisture of the fruit. And they are not cookies, they are fruit and cake! :)
Reply:They stick together because the figs are very moist and very sticky. There is no getting around it, you want those cookies to be soft and chewy don't you?
Reply:I think the big difference between nutons and other cookies is that they are really spelled Newton.

Will "Climbing Fig Ivy" attach itself to a smooth metal fence post?
I just planted 8 Climbing Fig Ivys along a smooth metal fence. The rungs are straight and spaced a few inches apart. Will the ivy be able to grasp and hold onto the fence? Right now it is secured to the poles with twist ties to keep it attached.
Will "Climbing Fig Ivy" attach itself to a smooth metal fence post?
I'm not familiar with the plant you are speaking of; however, it sounds to me like you are doing things right.
To give it the best chance to hold on, you should gently wrap it around the rungs, trying to imitate how it would twine around a pole naturally. If you just ran it strait up the wrungs, it may take longer for it to be able to hold itself in place. Just be careful not to twist it to far or it could snap.
Also, remember to remove the twist ties after it has time to grown and wrap around the fence. If you leave the ties on and forget about them, they can choke off the vine as the vine grows.
Reply:Normally climbing vines stick to whatever they are climbing regardless of the surface.

If I plant my fig there will it survive, since there is so much water under the ground?
I would like to plant a climbing fig on my concrete fence, mainly to cover the ugly fence up!
After digging the hole to plant it in the hole promptly filled up about 1/2 way with water. After letting the water sit all day I came back to look at it and the hole was still filled with water- meaning it never drained.

Could be your water table is pretty high! Wow, where are you New Orleans? Near a lake? Could also indicate some underground obstruction that is not letting water seep down lower......underground concrete, plastic, rock layer, etc.
If you have a sprinkler system, you might have a leak nearby! Or if your water line is nearby, it too may be leaking. Is your downspout nearby? That would have to be moved away from the house pronto before groundwater gets inside.
Try digging holes elsewhere to see if you have the same problem throughout the yard. If this is just your yard, you'd have to either drain the yard into a sump pump or into the city sewer and that's $$$$$ I read here recently someone had the city do it, but then his problem was water on top of the ground which is a health hazard.
Normally when we run into water drainage problems we mound up the soil and plant high. Can't do that against the house as that invites insects such as termites.
You have some investigation to do!

Did Jesus sin when he killed the fig tree?
Matthew 21: 17-19 "And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. "

Did he not just murder the fig tree? Seems like a sin to me.

Reply:Jesus was God in the flesh. He created everything, what He created He can destroy. God cannot sin. He is Holy. The fig tree has been used to represent the nation of Israel. God never destroyed Israel, but he has punished His chosen people when they did not obey Him or produce good works (fruit of the fig tree). When God spoke of murder ( The Ten Commandments), He talked about killing man (man created in God's image). If you killed a man (other than for self defense or punishment by law ) that is what God would called murder.

Reply:I wouldn't say He sinned, because causing a tree to wither isn't the same as murder to me. After He causes the fig tree to wither, we see this exchange between Jesus and His disciples (Mark 11:20-25):
In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. Peter remembered and said to Jesus, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!"
"Have faith in God," Jesus answered. I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."
So maybe Jesus used the fig tree as an example to show the power of faith, prayer, and forgiveness to accomplish whatever we want.
Another interpretation is that the fig tree is symbolic of human beings. When a Messenger of God comes to humanity with God's teachings, and humanity doesn't respond. it will get weaker. On the other hand, if it responds to God's teachings, it will become stronger and bear fruit. So maybe Jesus was using the fig tree to show this to His disciples.

Translated, "bonsai" is a tree in a pot, but tradition has it styled as a miniature tree in a natural setting. Keeping it in a pot and trimmed well, will keep it small.
Reply:I am unable to give you proper answer
The figs are eight years old, It is Ficus superba var.henneana. I'm quite happy to keep it small, which it is doing by itself. What should I do if it puts on a growth spurt? thanks, Peter
Bonsai? how do I keep a small fig small?

Did Jesus sin when he killed the fig tree?
Matthew 21: 17-19 "And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. "
Thou shalt not murder.
Did he not just murder the fig tree? Seems like a sin to me.
Did Jesus sin when he killed the fig tree?
Seems like a rather spitefull thing to do to me. Shouldn't he have used his powers and made it bare fruit? Now the world has one less fig tree. People could have eaten that fruit, you know?
Reply:Jesus was God in the flesh. He created everything, what He created He can destroy. God cannot sin. He is Holy. The fig tree has been used to represent the nation of Israel. God never destroyed Israel, but he has punished His chosen people when they did not obey Him or produce good works (fruit of the fig tree). When God spoke of murder ( The Ten Commandments), He talked about killing man (man created in God's image). If you killed a man (other than for self defense or punishment by law ) that is what God would called murder.
Reply:You can not kill a fig tree, a tree does not have a soul or a spirt or even a heart, the bible also says thet the life is in the blood, a tree does not have blood. So please. Give me a break....
Reply:You have to know that Jesus is God, and God does not sin. No Question.
Reply:I also asked once about the same verse and what I don't understand is it is clear it wasn't a season for figs, 2nd Jesus should be smart enough to know that this is not a fig season and 3rd, why would he cursed a poor tree for not growing figs in an off season.
As usual, I ended up with "you don't have faith to understand" line.
Reply:no the tree didn't have a soul, otherwise every time we eat it is a sin, killing carrots, cabbage and don't forget the cow in your cheeseburger.
Killing humans was what was referred to in the Thou shalt not kill. Humans have a soul and we aren't supposed to kill for selfish reasons. War is a different story
and Actually Figs were in season, it plainly says
in a different book how it was summer time and figs grow in the summer time
Reply:You cannot murder a tree, and Jesus cannot sin. My guess is he was punishing.
Reply:Oh my gosh,
That is reaching, did Jesus step on a blade of grass which broke it and it died, so did he commit murder on the blade of Grass?
You cannot Murder a tree.

Reply:I wouldn't say He sinned, because causing a tree to wither isn't the same as murder to me. After He causes the fig tree to wither, we see this exchange between Jesus and His disciples (Mark 11:20-25):
In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. Peter remembered and said to Jesus, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!"
"Have faith in God," Jesus answered. I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."
So maybe Jesus used the fig tree as an example to show the power of faith, prayer, and forgiveness to accomplish whatever we want.
Another interpretation is that the fig tree is symbolic of human beings. When a Messenger of God comes to humanity with God's teachings, and humanity doesn't respond. it will get weaker. On the other hand, if it responds to God's teachings, it will become stronger and bear fruit. So maybe Jesus was using the fig tree to show this to His disciples.

Can I prune my fig tree eventhough new growth has begun?
My 20 year old fig tree has gotten too large (15-20 ft) , and too tall. I need to cut it bak to about 8 ft tall and remove a large limb. I failed to do so this winter. Now there is new spring growth, and formed figs. Can I cut the tree back radically, and not hurt the tree for next year?
Can I prune my fig tree eventhough new growth has begun?
Heavy pruning of a tree or shrub during the period of maximum growth can cause heavy damage or injury and even lead to a condition that can lead to death.
Early Spring for most plants is the WORST time to do it.
Late WINTER but before bud break is the best time because the sap is down. Spring pruning can cause heavy bleeding and allow insect or fungal attacks. Spring pruning is dumb dumb dumb.
Late Winter before bud break is also a great time for rooting hardwood cuttings of things like Snowball Bush or Forsythia where a two foot cutting placed directly in the ground where you want it to grow and kept moist once bud break occurs....
That's an easy way to acquire FREE plants from old ones. One of about 30 methods of asexual reproduction I've explored from division to air layers to stooling and dropping, you name it, I've done it.
Most gardnerers I've seen are idiots when it comes to pruning. You should never prune more than 10% of a plants area. If you are going to prune a shrub or small tree over 50% of its area, you might as well cut the bastard down to the roots and see if it survives.
It's like topping a White Pine or Norway Spruce because it's too big. It will make the tree hideous. Might as well cut it down and replace with something small like a dogwood or redbud tree.
Pruning Evergreens like Hollies or Spruces is or shrubs of a similar nature like some Junipers sps is quite an art.
When small, most intelligent gardeners use a method known as bud pruning or bud nipping which by careful use can create the exact form you desire.
If you wish to save your fig tree, the best bet is to NOT prune it NOW but wait until mid to late Winter and cut all the way to the base. When Spring comes you'll probably have some suckers coming up from the root. Select ONE of the most vigorous and eliminate the rest unless you want to convert it to a multitrunk form and then use selective pruning from then on. Most hardwood types of trees and shrubs will recover and sometimes look a million times better if rejuvenated by this method. But timing is of the essence. Severe Spring pruning can lead to bleeding which allows fungal and insect attacks and the shock can kill some low vigor trees or shrubs outright.
Also you have to know your species. Some pines will NOT recover if cut to the base, other types [like Pitch Pine] will.
Most hardwoods like Maples regrow from the base from total removal, but there are some exceptions.
Also if I were you and needed to remove something like a fig [which roots very easy by air layering] I'd root several cuttings first or created multiple air layers, that way I have "children" from the parent plant even if "momma" has to go! Figs are great for air layers which are so easy to do it doesn't take a Green Thumb.

Burying Fig Trees?
My aunt was telling me that people "bury" their fig trees in winter in Michigan. Can anyone tell me more?
Burying Fig Trees?
Dig a trench about two feet deep and as long as your fig tree is tall (and about 2-3 feet wide). Dig up your fig tree and lay it down horizontally in the trench. cover with soil, then mulch. Dig it out in spring and replant it.
You could also dig the trench to one side of the tree where it's growing, and dig it out on one side, then bend it over, leaving the roots on the far side intact and in the ground. Either way, try to cut as few of the roots as is practical.
Or, you can grow them in a big pot, and move the whole shebang into an unheated, attached garage for the winter. Someplace cool or cold, but not freezing.
Reply:Fig trees are not frost or freeze tolerant. The fig grows best and produces the best quality fruit in Mediterranean and dryer warm-temperate climates. Frost Protection: In borderline climates, ......For further protection, erect a frame over the plant, covering and surrounding it with heavy carpet in winter. Keep the roots as dry as possible during winter, raising a berm to exclude melting snows during thaws. In northern climates, the fig is best grown as a tub or pot plant that can be brought into a warm location in winter and taken out again in spring. Dormant buds are more susceptible to freezing than wood. Freezing may also create a trunk without live buds; regrowth is possible only from roots.

If Jesus is SO LOVING, exactly WHY would he curse a fig tree to death?
From: http://listverse.com/bizarre/top-10-biza...
Found in: Matthew 21:19; Mark 11:13-14
So, Jesus is walking from Bethany and he’s feeling a bit peckish. He encounters a fig tree, but unfortunately it is barren as it’s the off season for figs. Annoyed, Jesus demands the fig tree bear him fruit, however the fig tree doesn’t respond (it’s a tree), so Jesus, in an act of uncharacteristic rashness, curses the fig tree to death. This story is bizarre for many reasons, but mainly for how little it means to the Jesus story and how Jesus seems to react so harshly. OK, so he’s hungry, and we all get a little cranky when hungry, but come on, the fig tree had done nothing wrong. This just seems like abuse of powers to me.

Reply:Its symbolic the fig tree represents the nation of Israel, and is a demonstration that they are rejecting salvation and thus not producing fruit(Works of the Holy spirit) So, many there will not accept the truth

Reply:I can't wait to read the answers to this one. I'm gonna crack a beer or two and enjoy the ride!
Reply:The fact that this tree did have leaves shows that it was unseasonably mature. Surely it would not have been unreasonable for Jesus to expect that such a tree would also be unseasonably early with its fruit. Yet, this tree was unproductive. Indeed, as Mark states, the tree had “nothing but leaves,” that is, no fruit. Certainly the leaves gave that tree a deceptive appearance.
But why did Jesus curse this unproductive fig tree? Jesus’ words on the occasion, as recorded in Mark 11:22-25, provide a clue to the answer. As Jesus explained, this was a lesson for them to “have faith in God.” What did the withering of this fig tree have to do with faith? First of all, it was Jesus’ faith that made the curse effective. Evidently, Jesus was using this occasion to provide an object lesson on the power of faith. As Jesus stated: “All the things you pray and ask for have faith that you have practically received, and you will have them.”—Mark 11:24.
But there also seems to be another connection between the withering of this fig tree and the quality of faith. Just three months prior to this incident Jesus uttered a parable about an unfruitful fig tree that needed to be cut down. (Luke 13:6-9) And what was pictured by the fig tree of this parable? This unfruitful fig tree was a symbol of the ancient Jewish nation.—Compare Matthew 21:43.
So it is reasonable to believe that the barren fig tree that Jesus cursed was also a symbol of the unfruitful ancient Jewish nation. Although this nation had been in a covenant relationship with God, the appearance was deceptive, for the nation proved barren of good fruitage, even rejecting God’s own Son. And what was the cause of this unfruitfulness? The lack of faith, the very quality Jesus was using the occasion to highlight. (Romans 9:31, 32) By causing the fig tree to wither, Jesus was graphically demonstrating what the end result would be for that fruitless, faithless nation.

Jesus teaches a lesson after cursing the fig tree to help the disciples understand the power of faith and prayer.
Matthew 21:19 Seeing a lone fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it except leaves only; and He said to it, "No longer shall there ever be any fruit from you." And at once the fig tree withered.
20 Seeing this, the disciples were amazed and asked, "How did the fig tree wither all at once?"
21 And Jesus answered and said to them, "Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it will happen.
22 "And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."
Reply:First of all, Jesus is using the fig tree to emphasize a point. He's illustrating that anybody who "appears good" from a distance, but is "empty inside" is cursed. Only those who are true faithful followers of Christ are saved; hypocrites will never be saved.
Secondly, you err in your belief that Jesus is "so loving." Yes, Jesus is full of love, but He is also full of justice, full of holiness, full of righteousness. The scales have to be balanced. Jesus loves righteousness, and good, but He hates lawlessness, and evil. That is why He drove the moneychangers out of the temple.
2 Thessalonians 1:7-9 says "When the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power"
Jesus will return, not only with love (for His faithful followers), but also with vengeance (for His enemies). And He will punish them forever. To believe Jesus is all loving, and to reject that He hates and punishes sin, is to believe in a false jesus. In order to know the true Lord of Lords, we must believe all of His attributes. But a majority of people refuse to believe in a Jesus like that. Woe to them!
Jesus said, "If you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."
If you believe Jesus is only "All loving" and nothing else, I suggest you read your Bible more thoroughly. Contact me if you'd like some help.

So, Jesus is walking from Bethany and he’s feeling a bit peckish. He encounters a fig tree, but unfortunately it is barren as it’s the off season for figs. Annoyed, Jesus demands the fig tree bear him fruit, however the fig tree doesn’t respond (it’s a tree), so Jesus, in an act of uncharacteristic rashness, curses the fig tree to death. This story is bizarre for many reasons, but mainly for how little it means to the Jesus story and how Jesus seems to react so harshly. OK, so he’s hungry, and we all get a little cranky when hungry, but come on, the fig tree had done nothing wrong. This just seems like abuse of powers to me.
If Jesus is SO LOVING, exactly WHY would he curse a fig tree to death?
fig tree has free wil... it sinned
Reply:Its symbolic the fig tree represents the nation of Israel, and is a demonstration that they are rejecting salvation and thus not producing fruit(Works of the Holy spirit) So, many there will not accept the truth
Reply:I really dunno. But I have seen fig trees that didnt have fruit, was it maybe a male tree that doesnt have fruit?
Reply:Christ is very clear...you must bear fruit...
that which does not bear fruit or bears bad fruit is
cut off and cast into the fire at the end....
i talk about works and faith in my 360 blog

Reply:He must be doing something right if the only offense we can find is killing a tree.
Of course, I'm assuming that this question is tongue in cheek. I'm sure you know why that story was included in the gospel... right?
Reply:So you could ask this question.
It was the season for fruit, and it was not giving fruit. Did you ever curse a ice cube tray cuz someone didn't fill it?
Reply:Hi, i suspect that the meaning is more symbolic lol :p, I found this link just now :

Reply:The fact that this tree did have leaves shows that it was unseasonably mature. Surely it would not have been unreasonable for Jesus to expect that such a tree would also be unseasonably early with its fruit. Yet, this tree was unproductive. Indeed, as Mark states, the tree had “nothing but leaves,” that is, no fruit. Certainly the leaves gave that tree a deceptive appearance.
But why did Jesus curse this unproductive fig tree? Jesus’ words on the occasion, as recorded in Mark 11:22-25, provide a clue to the answer. As Jesus explained, this was a lesson for them to “have faith in God.” What did the withering of this fig tree have to do with faith? First of all, it was Jesus’ faith that made the curse effective. Evidently, Jesus was using this occasion to provide an object lesson on the power of faith. As Jesus stated: “All the things you pray and ask for have faith that you have practically received, and you will have them.”—Mark 11:24.
But there also seems to be another connection between the withering of this fig tree and the quality of faith. Just three months prior to this incident Jesus uttered a parable about an unfruitful fig tree that needed to be cut down. (Luke 13:6-9) And what was pictured by the fig tree of this parable? This unfruitful fig tree was a symbol of the ancient Jewish nation.—Compare Matthew 21:43.
So it is reasonable to believe that the barren fig tree that Jesus cursed was also a symbol of the unfruitful ancient Jewish nation. Although this nation had been in a covenant relationship with God, the appearance was deceptive, for the nation proved barren of good fruitage, even rejecting God’s own Son. And what was the cause of this unfruitfulness? The lack of faith, the very quality Jesus was using the occasion to highlight.
