@WillC because aql148 stated "not much fruit has been produced this year" I'm 99% sure they are talking about Ficus carica even though figs are not truly fruits but inverted flowers. You do make a good point but F. benjamina, lyrata, and elastica are just a few others. There is also Ficus benghalensis, Ficus macrophylla, Ficus retusa, Ficus aspera, Ficus petiolaris, Ficus pantoniana, Ficus pseudopalma, Ficus tinctoria, Ficus verruculosa, Ficus ilicina, Ficus krukovii, Ficus microcarpa, Ficus sycomorus, Ficus auriculata, Ficus bizanae, Ficus mexiae, Ficus crassipes, and many many more in the 850 some odd species of Ficus. Ficus is the largest genus in the family Moraceae, and is one of the largest genera of flowering plants period. The most common of which being Ficus carica. Many fig species are grown for their "fruits", though only Ficus carica is cultivated globally for this purpose. with a worldwide production of around 1.5 million metric tons.
