@tannerfarmstead: Why I think figs are one of the most underrated fruit trees: • Fruit in 1–2 years • Thrive in heat + humidity • No spray / no major pests • Self-pollinating • Easy to keep small The more I homestead, the more I realize perennials are the real backbone of a productive homestead. You plant them once… and they just keep giving. Gardens come and go every season — but trees like this feed your family for years. #homestead #homesteading #permaculture
