Style: Short Sleeve
Description
This women's tee is made from 6.1 oz 100% ring-spun US cotton in a boxy, slightly cropped mid-length cut. It features a topstitched ribbed collar, shoulder-to-shoulder twill tape, a seamless body, and a double-needle bottom hem. Dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes in a WRAP-certified facility, using a salt-free clean pigment process that uses about half the water of conventional pigment dyeing. Boxy fit, sizes S–2XL — it runs close to the body, so size up for a looser drape. Slight shade variation between garments is normal.

Meet fig
Ficus Tourn. ex L.
The fig genus includes far more than familiar orchard trees. Its members may be shrubs, vines, large trees or plants that begin life on other plants. Strangler figs are one distinctive form, sometimes eventually overwhelming the tree that supported them. Smithsonian Gardens: The Fruitful Fig
Seasonality across the genus
Tropical forests
At the tropical-forest community scale, figs provide fruit through the year. This broad pattern helps explain their ecological importance, especially during periods when other kinds of fruit are scarce. Smithsonian Gardens: The Fruitful Fig
Native range
Ficus is native throughout the tropics and subtropics. Its collective distribution spans the Americas, Africa, Asia, Australia and Pacific islands, with different species occupying different portions of that extensive range. Kew Plants of the World Online: Ficus Tourn. ex L.
Ecological relationships
Specialized fig wasps of the family Agaonidae pollinate the enclosed flowers; their life cycles are closely coordinated with the development of figs. Flora of China 5 (2003): Ficus
Fig-wasp larvae develop by feeding on short-styled female flowers or specialized gall flowers, depending on the fig’s reproductive system. Flora of China 5 (2003): Ficus
The ripe figs feed animals including birds, fruit bats, monkeys and rodents, linking the trees to a much wider forest food community. Smithsonian Gardens: The Fruitful Fig
