When Christ said to ‘learn the Parable of the fig tree’ one must look into the horticulture of the fig tree. There are more than just one kind of fig tree and the process by which the good to eat figs are pollinated.

Yes, that is touched upon (to a degree) in the link I left above:

Focus on Jerusalem.com: "Israel And The Fig Tree" by Darrell G. Young

...Though it focuses more upon the two harvests... Pretty good article.

Well in terms of what the parable literally means, which Christ said to learn this guy kinda scratches the surface.

As I said earlier it is necessary to study the literal horticulture of the planting and the method the fruit is pollinated of a good to eat type of fig. There are some figs that are not fit for food.
