Tree

Common Fig

Ficus carica

Large lobed leaves and sweet late-summer fruits give a Mediterranean feel to the garden.

Toxic to cats

The ASPCA lists weeping fig (Ficus benjamina) as toxic to cats and dogs, and to horses, with stomach and skin irritation as the signs. The edible fig is not listed by name, but it is the same genus, so give it the same caution.

Handle with care

The fruit is the food here, and it is fine to eat. The milky sap is the catch: it can cause a skin reaction in sunlight (phytophotodermatitis), so wear gloves and cover bare skin to prune it, and wash off any sap before you go out in the sun.
