Fig or not?? (That is the question )

And I thought I was the only one that thought they smell like cat pee.

I have had guests come over and say "I didn't know you had a cat?"

This is Thursday! So tomorrow afternoon after work drink lots of Skeeter Pee and it will be revealed to you! No I'm not kidding. Don't get it confused with cat pee. Completely different animal. Just drink the Skeeter Pee and all will be well. What! NO! Just Google it!

SKEETER PEE! FOR REAL! NO IT'S NOT GROSS. CLEAN UP YOUR MIND!

I did not hijack this thread. It's not a FIG!

I m from Louisiana and i make skeeter pee every year. Drink last years and store this year. The pee is lots better when it darkens up and ferments a bit longer over the year. Classic summer time drink

Skeeter Pee! I like it.... Can I assume that it is served chilled or over ice rather than at ambiant temperature?

Cold. You use pure Lemmon juice concentrate, water sugar and champagne wine yeast. Let it ferment for a week or two. Rack it. Let it finish fermenting for about a 3 weeks. Rack it. Bottle it up. Either drink it or store it

Thank you... Will have to give it a try but perhaps label it as something more neutral to my wife's sensibilities which lacks any humor in that regard....   :-)

I've seen a lot of those weedy (juvenile Morus Alba?) saplings in Texas.  Note - that is where a lot of these queries pop up (including the OP here)!  Hard to know for sure though - as I've never seen one grown big enough yet to absolutely verify?  Maybe the OP can report back on what kind of fruit his neighbor's bears?

And if it is an invasive Morus alba, encourage him to chop & drop it!

It poses an ecological threat by displacing native species, possibly hybridizing with and transmitting a root disease to the native Morus rubra.
(Although there is no "possibly" hybridizing - as it clearly DOES!)

Also as a sidenote - figs, mulberries, osage oranges, and a number of other tropical trees actually all belong to the same Moraceae family.  Hence, they often do show a lot of similarities (like leaf shapes, etc).
Quote:
Trees in the Moraceae family produce multiple fruits or fruits that develop from a cluster of multiple flowers or inflorescences. Although each flower’s ovary produces a single fruit, the fruits grow together, or coalesce, forming a larger, single fruit. Other similarities within the Moraceae family include a tendency toward stringy, peeling bark and milky, latexlike sap.
