As the title suggests I am curious if there are any reports of the fig wasp in El Paso texas. I think I could have good success if I had a caprifig here. Please let me know your thoughts. There are large citrus, fig, pecan, etc around my house.
The caprifig trees would be fine, but still need a source for wasps.
Im buying a swarm of honey bees for my bee house.Could bee's pollinate figs?I have seen them before in ripe figs.Doug
I wished bees could pollinate figs. Sure would make it much easier.
As a beekeeper I wish that were the case. I imagine some innoculated profichi would do the trick for the wasps, but would the wasps be able to overwinter here? I could keep the caprifig potted so that I could bring it into my basement during our brief winter
The early wasp hatch just arrived in our locale here in Northern California...
What are known cultivars of caprifigs that perform well? I will be doing a search also.
Thank you for saving me quite a bit of legwork. Sidenote, has anyone worked on grafting caprifigs to themselves for full season pollination? Much like a 5 in 1 plum but for pollination.
