Hello,
does anyone know this Australian fig? I thought it would need native Australian fig wasps to set edible fruit, but here in Germany i found a nursery which sells them as parthenocarp and claims it sets fruit without the wasps.

Best regards

Thanks for edifying. Google images only shows them at less than one centimeter, but no context. I can't tell if they are mature at that size.  Attending information says they are edible (as the name suggests) and tastier than most other figs. Until you asked the question, I had never heard of this fig.
