You already know about San Pedro, Common and probably Caprifigs. What's left is Smyrna. That wont produce any ripe figs without pollination or chemical intervention. __________________ Zone 6, MO Wish list: Galicia Negra, De La Reina - Pons, Genovese Nero - Rafed's, Sbayi, Souadi, Acciano, Any Rimada, Sodus Sicilian, any Bass, Pons or Axier fig, any great tasting fig.

RC I thought they called "comon figs" COMON because they are very common. I know about the names but not actually what it means. I not a old timer in the fig world yet. Lol. I will remember san Pedro now! comon fig means does need pollenated. I got it. And capri fig is a male fig. __________________ RICHIE BONI HICKORY LOUISIANA ZONE 8B WARM HUMID WINRERS ARE VERY MILD LOW 20'S BUT WARMS RIGHT UP DURING THE DAY.

I think what you wanted to say is right. Common figs do NOT need pollination. Caprifigs have male and female flowers. Most of them are inedible. They have 3 crops. Of those, only the Profichi has male flowers (in general). The other two crops are the winter mamme and the autumn mammoni. You will be an old timer any day now :) __________________ Zone 6, MO Wish list: Galicia Negra, De La Reina - Pons, Genovese Nero - Rafed's, Sbayi, Souadi, Acciano, Any Rimada, Sodus Sicilian, any Bass, Pons or Axier fig, any great tasting fig.
