Not self pollinated.  Pollination not required to produce figs.  The figs will not have viable seed.

It will produce edible fruit if that is what you are asking.

A lot of people put emphasis on popular/exotic cultivars, which is great because it highlights some of the better fig varieties; however, I am most interested in the figs our members love regardless of pedigree. 
Currently Growing: a bunch of varieties.

I have a rooted cutting if anyone wants to try. I haven't been able to get a ripe fig off it. Pm me. Free. Just pay shipping. 10$

I just had a Breba on my Napolitana. Don't know about the main crop as this is the first year of production.
It tastes like a honey fig. If the main crop ripens I will update.
The fig you see had excess water due to overwatering perhaps and despite that it was very tasty due to its high sugar content.
