I grew this tree from seed. The seed could have been from any commonly dried or packaged variety found in a supermarket - I planted quite a few. Sadly, although cuttings were given away none ever rooted and we removed the tree because it made such a mess dropping ripe figs. At that time I did not realize what I had. They were yellow but had a mild, figgy taste not at all like melon or berry. If I knew how hard it is to find such big figs (as long as you don't mind a little pollen in them) with a decent flavor I'd have kept it and tried crossing it or put up more of an argument for keeping it. The tree was only around 6-8 years old. Kicking myself now.

arachyd, 

This fig has a few similarities with the persistent Caprifigs Cordelia (Gillette)..Croisic.. etc
Did you actually see them ejecting puffs of pollen through the eye ?
When ripe and falling from the tree, these Caprifigs when hitting the ground do blow small clouds of a very light powder (pollen).

No but they were all 1/4 to 1/3 pollen. The eyes were pretty well closed. No wasps here.

Correct, the wasp does not inhabit these Caprifigs
With so many fruit loaded with pollen, it would be not at all difficult to hand pollinate other figs on your yard, namely Smyrnas and San Pedro main crop, assuming the receiving fruit being receptive which could very well be the case.

I think it would have been a good one to cross but at the time I was not much into fig trees. I had a lot of unknown seedlings out of simple curiosity.

Normal i must have much Caprifig by my Seedlings. Normal they also persistent, but young and extremly winterhart.
