However, in a 5-week study in 83 people with high LDL (bad) cholesterol, researchers noted that those who added about 14 dried figs (120 grams) to their diet daily had no changes in blood fat levels, compared with a control group ( 14). Insects are the biggest threat to Brown Turkey fig trees because many of them cause the diseases described above.

[5] Blood Pressure The fig fruit develops as a hollow, fleshy structure called the syconium lined internally with numerous unisexual flowers. The tiny flowers bloom inside this cup-like structure. Although commonly called a fruit, the syconium is botanically an infructescence, a type of multiple fruit. The small fig flowers and later small single-seeded (true) fruits line its interior surface. A small opening or ostiole, visible on the middle of the fruit, is a narrow passage that allows the specialized fig wasp, Blastophaga psenes, to enter the inflorescence and pollinate the flowers, after which each fertilized ovule (one per flower, in its ovary) develops into a seed. At maturity, these 'seeds' (actually single-seeded fruits) line the inside of each fig.

Famous ancient era historian Herodotus (who lived in Bodrum, Turkey, in 5th BC) believed that the figs are old as humankind.

Biotechnol Mol Biol 5:24–37 To get the best crop, fig trees should be trained flat against a warm sunny wall to help the fruit ripen, and should be pruned twice a year to control the plant’s size and encourage fruiting.Figs also contain small amounts of a wide variety of nutrients, but they’re particularly rich in copper and vitamin B6.

[ citation needed] In cool climates such as the UK, figs usually produce two crops a year, but only the first of these usually ripens: Dried. Dried figs are high in sugar and calories, so they should be eaten in moderation. They may be more effective at treating constipation than fresh figs ( 9, 10).

The common fig is grown for its edible fruit throughout the temperate world. It is also grown as an ornamental tree, and in the UK the cultivars 'Brown Turkey' [27] and 'Ice Crystal' (mainly grown for its unusual foliage) [28] have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
