Can you grow a fig from a fig tree? Well, it was Epictetus that said, 'If you tell me that you desire a fig. I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen' – and he remains correct all these years later, as time is crucial when it comes to all things figgy.
Any have-a-go gardener that's learned how to grow strawberries from shop-bought fruit or raspberries from supermarket berries will likely have glanced at a fig before and pondered whether or not they might be able to do the same with it.
