Geography/History
The Mission Black fig has been around for centuries and dates back as far as 5,000 BC where it has been found in excavated tombs. It is thought to be indigenous to western Asia but has been spread throughout the Mediterranean region for several centuries. The Black Mission fig is also known as the "common fig" and has many medicinal functions. In 1768 it was first introduced in San Diego by Franciscan missionaries and made its way up the California coast through the mission system. Black Mission figs are widely adapted and favor hot, dry weather.
