Figs are already growing here too, I don’t know which climate zone your location has, but the fig „brown turkey“ is quite popular here in Germany.

Brown Turkey figs are tasty. Figs grow where I am at (Köppen zone: Csb)

This is a Celeste fig tree in my garden. It hardly produces though. The fir trees are shading it too much.

It looks and smells nice at least.

My favourite trees are oaks, although I also like wild cherries, apple-trees, olives, weeping willows and chestnuts. The qualities of oak wood as well as solitary oaks that shelter a large area with the shade of their boughs however stick out particularly - there used to be a large, centuries old solitary oak near the local cemetery when I was a child, unfortunately it was hit by lightning and afterwards began to rot from the inside; some ten years ago or so it was felled as a consequence.

As for forests, I enjoy temperate deciduous and mixed forests with plenty of undergrowth, although a beech forest with young slender trees that look like columns is also pleasant.

Being a nature freak , I am always on a look out for a rejuvenating break amidst forests & water bodies . The fav. among former here are found either in Himalayas or coastal zones . Top 3 would be following (in descending order of likeness) :

1. Himalayan Deodar
