All Ficus (figs) have white sap.
If I remember correctly, Ficus carica, the edible fig, does
not.
Oh, but it does. I have been trying to kill one in the front
yard for 5 years and it just will NOT die. I cut it to the
ground every fall (and it bleeds white), then spray roundup on it
in the spring -- and it springs! I have built a bonfire over its
roots, and salted the ground. It still grows back!
Aaaargh!

when Columbus discovered this country, it was plum full of nuts
and berries. And I'm right here to tell you the berries are just
about all gone." -- Uncle Dave Macon, old-time musician
