Ice Crystal fig is Smyrna type. I am just beginner. Will “Smyrna” (male) fruits be on the same plant? I believe figs mostly are ‘bisexual’, at least this is what I’ve seen since childhood, two different types of figs inSpring and in Fall. On the same plant.
Wasp from California just triggers producing female-fruit, doesn’t really pollinate. This is interesting article about Carnivorous figs:
Carnivorous Figs: The Relationship Between Wasps and Figs
Another quote:
“Some commercial growers place baskets of caprifigs, along with the fig wasps that the small caprifigs are hosting, near their Smyrna fig trees to ensure that pollination will take place.”
My main question was… is Ice Crystal “cultivar” (hybrid, sport, etc.) or “variety” (true to type if grown from seeds)? And also this seller on Etsy, I believe he resells seeds from somewhere else, very expensive.
