Dongguan is located in the subtropical zone, with abundant rainfall, sufficient heat, deep soil layer and loose soil. There are many kinds of fruits, such as pitaya, mulberry, litchi, guava, fig and so on.
Fresh figs are sweet and moist, and can be eaten raw as fruits or used as seasonal ingredients to make soup, so as to clear body fluids, benefit the stomach and strengthen the spleen. Partridges are peaceful and nourishing. It is suggested that children can eat more, which has the therapeutic effect of invigorating spleen and qi, resolving phlegm and tonifying deficiency.

Loquat flower is the predecessor of loquat, which is mild in medicinal properties and has the effects of clearing away lung heat, moistening dryness, resolving phlegm and relieving cough.
growing environment
Soil: Ficus carica does not require high soil conditions, and can grow normally on typical gray loam, calcareous desert sandy soil, humid subtropical acid red soil and alluvial clay loam. Among them, sandy loam with good water holding capacity is most suitable for the growth and fruit development of figs.
Temperature: figs are not hardy. When the temperature reaches-12℃ in winter, the top of the new shoot begins to freeze. At -20℃, the whole aboveground part above the rhizome will freeze to death. Figs can withstand higher temperatures without being hurt. Generally speaking, it is suitable for places with warmer climate.
The annual average temperature 15℃, the average maximum temperature in summer is 20℃, and the average minimum temperature in winter is 8℃. The area where the accumulated temperature of organisms above 5℃ reaches 4800℃ is the most favorable for the growth and fruiting of figs.
Light: Ficus carica is a tree species that likes light.
Moisture: The requirement of water condition for fig growth is not as strict as temperature. The annual rainfall in the main areas along the Mediterranean coast is 400-800 mm, and the rainfall in the growing season (4-65438+1October) is only about 1/3 of the annual rainfall, that is, 90-270 mm, which is suitable for fig growth. Ficus carica is not tolerant to waterlogging, and will soon wither and fall leaves or even die in case of water accumulation. Figs have developed roots and are more drought-tolerant.
