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.

The figs in our area don’t have to be pollinated. Since yours do, I wonder if the wasps, like the honeybees, are in a decline right now? Just a thought.
