Figs flower inside the fruit and are pollinated by the fig wasp, which has been introduced to california and warm climate regions, they won't live in cold climates. Some varieties of figs will drop fruit without pollination while others hold their fruit on the tree. All fruit will be better tasting with pollination, but some varieties make decent tasting fruit without pollination.  Chicago Hardy, Olimpic, and violetta de Bordeaux off the top of my head. Figs are one of the oldest fruits in cultivation they were enjoyed by Alexander the great, Augustus Caesar and Jesus Christ.</p></blockquote><p></p>
