Perched on the heights of Tunisia's Mont el Gorrâa, 600 meters above sea level, the gardens of the Djebba el Olia oasis form a unique agroforestry system. In ancient orchards, fig trees were always associated with other fruit crops such as olives, apples, quinces, and grapes. The small village of Djebba is unique for the large number of fig varieties. All fig trees are cultivated by lineage according to the rules of a village-specific customary law.
