Plants in a different place

It is always interesting when traveling to notice plants growing there that we also sell here at the Nursery.  On a recent visit to Topsail Island, NC, the landscaping for the condos was abundant with fig trees and oleander.  I had never seen a fig tree so large, and it was just loaded with figs.  Made me wonder what happens to all those figs?  Are there creatures that snack on them at night?
