For fun: If you had to pick a fig tree (Ficus Carcia, variety) to symbolize the one Adam and Eve, (emphasis on symbolize) used in the Garden of Eden described in Genesis chapter 3. Which would you pick? and what would be your criteria? Personally, I envision an exotic one with of large and smooth leaves with orgasmic tasting figs. How about you? No right or wrong answer.

Thanks guys :)

I'd pick a Brunswick. Just to keep things interesting, sort of like a Speedo(not that I wear Speedos). Seems like it would be easier for going to the bathroom too, just part the fingers. ;)

How about Ice Crystal? All that fringe make it seem glamorous, if a bit revealing.

Get the two biggest leaves and give them both to Adam, Eve can go without.

Jolly Tiger without a doubt the multi colored leaves would make a very fashionable statement

Garments of figs...because that was the "fruit" they sinned with , later garment of skin (snake) because that was the animal that caused them to sin...

At least that is one tradition...


As for the dady (mama?) Fig tree...I think coverage was important here...who wants to be embarrased in front of your wife? Not I!!!


WE (I) will have to call it an unknown so I guess we can call it "Eden's Unknown", or Eden's mystery fig.

Cuttings of which will be on Snak-e Bay very shortly...but they are very rare so expect to pay dearly...after all Adam paid with his life for them.

But because I just want everyone to have an Eden's Mystery fig tree...I might be persuaded to trade the EM fig for the tightest eye fig you have. Just remember if it looks like a Lemon fig in a year...well that's just not the dominant leaf...please wait at least seven statutory years before complaining.

If you're looking for more coverage go with a grise Olivette, less go with ronde de Bordeaux.
