You Have got a cauducous fig and it will never produce figs without polination,wasp ,Caprifig etc. Like Vern said :Get rid of it if you want fruits,and get a fig that do not need polination to set fruits. This is what happen when people grow figs from seeds of fruits bought in the Supermarket. That is why I insist,do not do it. Here now and then some people ask on the Forum.Can i grow a fig from seeds. Answer:Yes you can Grow an Ornamental fig from seeds but not a fruitting fig. Then They Reply:Well,I understand ,but I will try anyway. This is how some Hardheads create the problem you got today. One can grow 200 so called figs out of one fruit and sell it to 200 inocent people like you,that will take care of it for many years with out any satisfaction in return. I hope this will HELP,to make up your mind,because the sooner you do the Better for you.!!!

Hi Mastino, There are a couple reasons why only the very few plant fig seeds -- mainly just birds (with their droppings) and industry researchers trying to develop new varieties for commercial orchards out in California. One reason is that it takes much longer to get fruit from these plants; another is that they don't come true, and are unlikely to be better than the parent; thirdly, and very important for those of us not living in S. CA is that most all of the ones from seed will require caprification to ripen fruit. The little wasps can't survive in our climate.

Here's the problem that I see. If you are growing pollinated seed, what you will get is a fig variety that requires pollination to set fruit. Unless you have wild fig wasps living in your area, your new trees will not be able to set fruit for you. If you want to try to grow the seed as a fun project, just to see what you get, then I don't see any reason not to try it. If you want nice fruit, your safest bet is to buy some nice young trees of a named variety that has already proven itself to produce good figs in your area. If you like to propagate your own plants, then buy or beg some cuttings of proven varieties and root them yourself.

Hello fig friends, I have one Dalmatie (San Piero) trees, which was very promising this year (after 3 years) as it had a lot of breba figs in April. Then suddenly, temperatures started to go down (not below freezing though) and up for a while. Then all figs from different sizes all turned yellow and started to become all spongeous. This fig tree is infected by Mosaic Virus and has small growing irregularly sized leaves. This virus is said to be inoffensive as when the temperature rises, the effects (mottled leaves, small development) become almost invisible. This is true when you live in the hottest places (Italy or Mediterranean area, some of California/Florida,etc). However, for cold region, with low temperature in Spring and Autumn, the virus is more visible and probably affects most sensitive and infected trees. My father also has the same cultivar, in a better situation and has experienced the same problem. Unfortunately, the nursery selling fig trees are often located in hot areas where it is not possible to evaluate the effects of the virus. By the way, at my father's garden, there is a northern fig tree which produces a large amount of brebas. None EVER fell, regardless of temperatures variations, but the tree is not infested with this virus. I also have introduced a cultivar from Lecce (South of Italy), called Cascitello and it is bearing a magnificient breba fig. The plant is very small and is NOT infected by Mosaic (fruit not falling, enormous leaves and HEALTHY). I might be wrong but I honestly don't think so. Bye, Etneo
