Caprifig seeds and what does it give?

The caprifig may pollinate itself by the wasps - since botanically - it is a bisexual flower. Its known genetics is Ga/ga and it may give a rise to a GA/GA male. But I am also interested in the female of any type that may come of it. What is your experience about producing female figs from male seeds

They are the hardiest and most vigorous rootstocks...

Do you mean plants resulting from the germination of the fertile seeds found in the Mammoni (Summer) Caprifig ?
This is the only Caprifig crop with normal female flowers which,  being pollinated by wasps from the previous Profichi crop, always (at least in most cases)  present some edible sugary pulp and fertile seeds.... together with more or less galls developing wasp eggs.
