Reference: Fig, Fig-tree
Morish
There are several kinds of fig-trees, but the well-known tree called the Ficus Carica is common in Palestine and very productive. It also agrees with the description of "sitting under the fig-tree" for repose, its branches and leaves giving protection from the heat of the sun. It was one of the trees in the garden of Eden, of the leaves of which Adam and Eve made aprons. Ge 3:7; 1Ki 4:25; Joh 1:48. The figs were made into cakes by being pressed together. 1Sa 25:18; 30:12. The trees bear figs at different times, hence the expressions 'first-ripe figs,' and also 'untimely figs.' Na 3:12; Re 6:13. The fruit is produced before the leaves; so that leaves being found, there should have been fruit on the fig-tree cursed by the Lord, although the ordinary fig-season had not arrived. Mt 21:19-20; Mr 11:13,20-21. This was typical of Israel which had been compared to a fig-tree, bringing forth its first-ripe figs, Ho 9:10; but in the days of the Lord, Israel had plenty of leaves, professing to be God's favoured people, but producing no real fruit to Him. Lu 13:6-7. As a nation in the flesh no fruit will ever be found on it.
