HFF everyone! Figs now ripe and delicious!

I quite understand, Eric! Good luck with your search. If you find out, please drop me a line - I need to be reminded!!
Best wishes,
Andy

Bet these would be delish with some jamon serrano!

Of course you're absolutely right!

My dear Andy, your information source doesn't seem to be a fig specialist! Or maybe you fooled me ? :-) Female and male fig trees bear fruit, admittedly at different times of the year - and this is the main way in which they can be distinguished.
However, I have learnt some things from this research, such as the fact that fig trees have flowers but not visible because they are inside the fruit. Figs are in fact not fruits as such but inflorescences. Also that they are pollinated by a single insect, the blastophagus (Blastophaga psenes L.), a hymenoptera related to wasps and bees, which I'll leave you to look up on the internet!
In short, I am reassured: with global warming my fig tree has every chance of providing me with figs. If the increasing drought gives it life.....
Nice Sunday to you!
