    Pomegranite. It was the only one, and was destroyed in the flood.

    You know, it does bring to mind the question: How did ANY trees survive the flood? (JW-think actually has stated that the "tree of life" was destroyed in the flood along with the rest of Eden)

    I don't believe the continents were broken up before the Flood, therefore, it could have been Earth wide.

    Still doesn't explain how any trees survived. Especially when the garden was destroyed in it.

    BTW - the continents were the way they are now much earlier than 2500 B.C.

    By Earth wide, I meant where there were people.

    Perhaps I should have said world wide.

    I don't think so.

    A fig tree is certainly more at home in the middle east than an apple tree, which really needs a cold winter to bloom well in the spring.

    It's too bad there's not some magical way to exchange the food we grow. --My neighbors all wrinkle their noses at figs!

    I don't like figs, either.

    Their leaves have a curative property.

    When I was a little shaver, I witnessed some old women wrap a little boy with a very high fever in their leaves.

    In an hour or two the child was up, running and playing like he had never been sick.
