"And on the morrow, when they were come
from Bethany, he was hungry; And seeing a
fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if
haply he might find any thing thereon: and
when he came to it, he found nothing but
leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. And
Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat
fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples
heard it" Mark 11:12-14

A strange thing about the fig tree is that it forms
its fruit (figs) before the leaves appear.
