They used to be common down here. A lot of people had them in their yards. I don't know if people gradually got rid of them or maybe they died out. I think they're tasty, especially when made into preserves. I might see if I can plant one next spring, if I can find one.

I'm jealous. I love fresh figs with a chunk of strong cheese.
