I am not sure how many years is this tree, it looks like the oldest on the street. Clearly planted. The fertile figs used for the pollination are already mostly gone but there are plenty young green ones on the tree. I have not talked to the owners yet and do not even know if the house is owned by a person or by a Co.
Would be nice to get an airlayer from it. 













             

I swear, between you and Aaron, no tree in SoCal is safe.  Nice find, Igor!

Nice looking tree but ick Who would eat that fruit?

Well, Rich, those caprifigs are not for the human consumption. They are used by the wasps for the pollination of the Common/San Pedro/Smyrma figs.
The caprification is greatly improving the taste of Commons as well as makes it possible to eat the figs from the Smyrma and main crop from the San Pedro type trees.

The wasps currently can be found mainly in California only.

Igor,

Nice pictures. Thank you for showing us these lone and immensely friendly and useful trees .
The young still green fruit shown on the 3rd picture must be the summer or second crop (Mammoni)

Is it near your backyard ?

If there are figs close by, have no doubt they will be pollinated.

What a graceful tree.
 Igor, if I am not mistaken, it might be two trees fused at the trunk to look like one. If you look at the second picture from the top there is a fusion line from the low middle cavity towards the top all the way to the right-side branch. If that's the case, you might see two different sets of fruit, might even be one male and one female fig trees. 

Aaron,
Those 2 trees look like fused together but only the left one (the larger) is a fig. The other tree is not.

Francisco,
Yes, the green figs in the photo are the second crop (Mammoni), the black dry figs were from the first crop.
This tree is not far from my back yard, about 10 min walking. This is one of several caprifigs in the vicinity .
It may explain the great number of wasps I’ve seen this year. I think all my figs were pollinated and hope they would taste great! 
Of course if the %#$^$& raccoons and squirrels are kind enough 

Well, I have never seen one of those for real, but I am happy that you  are curious to find them.  There is a tree in my vicinity that is loaded. It is either a male tree or one of those that need a wasp. I hope to bring Kiwibob there to give us his input.  Your picture is awesome.  thanks for sharing.

Igor,
That's a good male fig and judging from your pictures, a well established and prolific tree
When the time comes, let's have a look of your figs...(you can always do the gravity seed test) for confirmation.
Racoons and squirrels are a problem.. you have to use your imagination!!
Francisco

Great looking trunk.  Is this the source of the black caprifigs you sent me?

Grasa,
Please let us know what you find out, could be something interesting!

Francisco,
Last year I took the seeds from my 2 young producing trees and germinated them successfully, a VdB and an Unk. Bonita Verte. At some point I had way too many seedling, it is good I gave them away. So, yes, the wasps were here last year too !
As far as the vermins go, I am fully stocked with the Tabasco sauce and some heavy duty Duke #110 :D

Bob,
No, this is not the Black Prince, it is a new find. My neighborhood is very green and has many trees regardless which way I go. So far I inspected 3 ways 15 min away and found 11 trees! 

I meant the fusion line on the left large trunk, I know the far right trunk is and looks like a different species...LOL Is there a fusion line on the Fig tree trunk on the second picture?

Oh, I see. The older fig trees are so not straight that with an elementary imagination you can always come up with some fusions!
It very well could be but I have to look closer standing next to the tree.
It is hard to take the full photo since the tree is taller than a 3-story house and is next to a road.

What a beauty. Thanks for sharing!
