Here is the Fig requiring a Wasp to pollinate and it is grown in the Central Valley.

Wasp

I know that Just Amy can fill us in on the varieties grown there including the venerable Black Mission...

Many years ago, the company that I worked for did some computer work for Valley Fig Growers.

I no longer have a copy, but they distributed a pamplet titled “The Sex Life of a Fig.” It was cute and very informative ..... all about the wasp brought in to pollinate the Calimyrna Figs.

We have a Black Mission but it didn’t produce very well last year. I think there was only one crop; we usually get at least 4 crops. We are hoping for a more productive yield this year.
