  • We had the honor of touring through Gifford with the Arboretum Curator, Professor Ken Feeley ~ He was a wealth of knowledge and so, we thought we would share some of the incredible wonders we learned about these diverse and amazing trees in this collection!

    Thank you Jack for the most interesting and education video. As I go through a box of fig bars, I will think of the sacrifices the fig-wasps made.

    Thanks so much for the tour of some fascinating trees; interesting information. I cracked up when you described the fig tree pollination and the queen wasp. If you ever decided to be a stand-up comedian, you could take that fig tree explanation of pollination on the road. 😉 😅

    This was fascinating and loved the mention at the end about environmental acclimation rates being much slower than what we, as the stewards of the environment, are throwing at them. Kudos to U of M for having this lovely space. 🌴🌳🌲🌳🌴💚

    Thank you Jack for informing us how fig trees survived in the wild. Then,i bet, predators got there before humans. Rare figs I'd say😂😂💝

    Love aboretums - a great place to see what grows well in your area and learn. The fif and wasp atory has me captivated. I like to eat figs and I guess I like to eat fig wasps too.

    ...the fig wasp life cycle is truly an enigma, isn't it?! I also found interesting the mahogany tree. I have several pieces of furniture that I have inherited from when this was the fine wood of choice (cherry, too) in the 1950s/60s. 🌳👩🏼‍🌾💚 =^..^=

    Thank you I sadly told you I can't identify with Naples as a Michigander and you shared you were planning much more in many venues You delivered!!! This was so interesting--taught me a lesson to also open myself to other zones and their history

    The Lignum vitae tree is indigenous to the Caribbean. It is the national tree In Bahamas and the national flower of Jamaica 🇯🇲. They use the wood to make furniture as I remember growing up in Jamaica.

    That was really interesting. Now I know why I never liked figs! Some amazing and beautiful trees there. Thanks for making this video :-)

    makes me not want to eat any figs. loved all the information you shared from this garden. Thank you!

    I have never eaten a fig and now I'm quite certain I never will. LOL Fascinating learning about all these trees. I could listen to you teach all day! Your boys are so fortunate to have you as their father.

    The story of the fig has made me not want to ever eat another one.

  • @katherinemcmillan5228

    there's a whole key with those trees on it - and could you go to James Deerings house and garden, please😀

    That fig story was definitely strange but so fascinating.

  • @CindiElbrecht
    @CindiElbrecht Před rokem

    Is that just certain fig species or all figs? I got to research this! My grandmother lived in south east Georgia, had figs trees and made the best fig jam ever, with fresh out of the oven, homemade bread! That’s what I’m talking’ about!

  • @jansmith3158
    @jansmith3158 Před rokem +3

    dont think I have ever had a fig...thank goodness 😂

  • @nidnay7506
    @nidnay7506 Před rokem

    Just a correction…..not ALL fig trees need wasps for pollination. As an example, Brown Turkey fig trees are one very common fig tree which are self pollinating….no wasps needed or other tree necessary for pollination.

      Both had a similar belief about that tree- , but yes, Incas further south~!
