I have 4 of these growing and was told they were self fertile. Reading threw old post people say no. Reading jons fig list with a sum of each variety it says self fertile. Are there two different varieties of this fig. ? Thanks for your opinions. Richie from louisiana
My understanding is they are a smyrna type.
Is it self fertile? Thanks for the reply

Jon publishes other people's descriptions as they wrote them. If it's a smyrna by definition it needs the wasp to produce fruit. If it produces fruit without the wasp it's incorrectly named.
Thanks
Richie I believe you received your Purple Smyrna cuttings from me. Purple Smyrna, is not a "true" Smyrna fig, and will fruit without caprification (pollination by fig wasp).
