i rooted Calimyrna cuttings that are doing well. i was told that the mother tree did produce fruit when it was in a large container. A few years ago it was planted in ground ( zone 6) and only produced a breva crop. i don`t think it was winterized properly. Doing research, it states that "Caliomyrna" needs pollination. Has anyone had any experience with this variety ??

It needs pollinating.

If the tree is not in California and produces fruit, there is a good chance it is not Calimyrna. The pollinating wasp is only found in CA, to my knowledge.

I bought a just rooted Calimyrna fig tree from California early last year on eBay and it arrived in a rooting cup. The rooting medium seemed to be a lot of small bark. After a few months it was moved up to a one gallon size pot. It refused to grow. This year I moved it up to a five gallon pot, thinking perhaps the bark was slowing its growth and having more potting soil would allow it to grow. However, it has not grown at all in spite of regular fertilizing. It's still seven inches tall like it was last year in its one gallon pot. At least it hasn't died. Strange?
