In our small corner of California we regard them as a nuisance. A
neighbor planted a fig tree a number of years ago and the birds have now
scattered the seeds far and wide. Every spring I have to launch a
concerted effort to remove the seedlings from my yard and garden. They
grow rapidly and are not easy to control.
