One Crop Figs (Caprification)

Hello,

Most figs produce [2 crops], aka, fruit.
The fist crop is produced on last year (brown) wood and is called breba.
The second crop is produced on this year (green) wood and is called main-crop.

Some figs produce only [1 crop], the main-crop, (a classical example being the famous Celeste fig).

The BIG (and maybe simple and/or stupid) question is:

Does anybody know of any [1 crop] fig that requires caprification/pollination, aka the fig-wasp?

George(NJ).

Sort of. The Calimyrna does produce brebas, but the wasp is not availabe to pollinate then, so they drop off and only the main crop persists.
