The park is surrounded by a hedge, which defines the borders, and is made up of a mixture of evergreen shrubs of various species that come from our Mediterranean area. The flowering changes during the various seasons, in colours and fragrances.
The Bush
This system limits the garden space, avoiding the creation of regular barriers which are often pruned in perfect geometric shapes that give a sense of walls. Instead, the variety of the different heights of the species, left to grow in a natural and controlled disorder, which leads to a continuous ribbon of vegetation, extending and enlarging the space.

The real fruits (achenes) - FOLIAGE: Deciduous, large, rough, oblong, roughly lobed with 3-5 lobes, dark green on the upper part, paler and equally rough on the lower part.
- RIPENING PERIOD: In the edible fig, we have three types of syconia which annually give distinct fruiting:
• florets that are formed from buds of the previous autumn and ripen at the end of spring or at the beginning of summer
• figs, which are formed from buds in spring and ripen at the end of the summer of the same year.
• cimaruoli produced from top buds produced in the summer and ripening in late autumn. The production of cimaruoli is limited to regions where the summer is very long and the climate is particularly hot; it is often incomplete or unsatisfactory. - STRUCTURE: Short branchy and long-lived tree
