Oldest Domsticated Plant?

From Natl Geo.

The Neolithic Revolution just got pushed back a bit farther, to nearly 10000 BC -- it appears people were cultivating fig trees in modern Israel a thousand years before cereal grains, and 6000 years before grapes and olives, which had previously been thought to be the oldest domesticated fruits.

"The so-called agricultural revolution—when ancient humans began to domesticate crops—is now increasingly seen as a long and multifaceted transition, as humans gradually shifted from scattered planting of wild grains to farming with domesticated varieties."

""The early propagation of fig trees, if true, has a rather important effect on the way we view the Neolithic [or Late Stone Age]," said archaeologist Joy McCorriston, of Ohio State University in Columbus.....
McCorriston notes that although planting shoots of fig trees may be simple, early fig farmers would have had to wait several years for their reward.
This suggests relatively long-term ties to land and perhaps new social and economic arrangements prior to the full-scale adoption of an agricultural lifestyle. "

The hunter-gatherer Natufian culture (12,500-10,200 BP) apparently may have been more sedentary than first thought originally if the smart guys were planting TREES. On a related note, this culture may have also been the first to domesticate dogs as well. Burials dating to 10000 BC with dogs have been found according to the Wiki article.
