Join Master Gardener, Dr. Jafar Vossoughi, to learn more about the fig fruit and plant.

Do you love fig trees? The fig is a peculiar and underestimated fruit with a very rich history. Dr. Jafar Vossoughi, retired bioengineering professor and a Master Gardener, will present a comprehensive talk on the small, unusual fruit, the fig. The presentation will cover history, botany, biology, and information specific to the cultivars suitable for our region. A short review of the medicinal, nutritional, and culinary aspects of this fruit will also be discussed.
