Mountain Fig
Mountain fig or rock fig (called "Anjeer Kohi" in Persian) is a wild fig, naturally growing in the rocky mountainous area of the Kavir desert of Iran, especially in the Khorasan Mountains of Kohestan. The only difference between the mountain fig and other figs is its tolerance of dry and cold climates. It usually does not need any irrigation and is able to survive extremely dry weather and temperatures of −40 °C (−40 °F). Its dry fruit is very delicious. The most productive and the oldest mountain fig trees are located in the Zibad mountains.
