  Only true for some varieties of figs. Most of the common fresh eating figs don’t use the wasp for pollination at all

      Huh, didn’t know that the fig fruit was also the flower.

      So does the wasp simply help the propigation of the fig tree when it poliniates or does it helps the fig fruit ripen?

      I know fig trees can also propgate via cutings too, so I’m wondering how essential wasps are to fig farms.

  Most figs you get in the store are not pollinated by fig wasps.
