I'm supposed to be a Fig Tree... let's see:
very strong minded - Very seldom.
a bit self-willed - A little, perhaps.
honest - Yep, it's something I value highly.
loyal - Only to those few that are worthy.
independent - So very very wrong.
hates contradiction or arguments - Wrong, they add flavour!

hard worker when wants to be - Key words are when wants to be... true.
loves life and friends - Who doesn't?
enjoys children and animals - Ack! Wrong! Wrong!
few sexual relationships - True.
great sense of humor - Depends on who you ask. But true, I guess.
has artistic talent and great intelligence - Heh. True.
No better or worse than any other astrological stuff I've seen, but the tree angle was cute. I like figs, eat myself sick on them around Christmas time every year.
