Thank you for the great information. However, I am wondering if because the tree has been outdoors all summer, could it have been pollinated and if so how will I know? I have physically taken some of the small fruits off of the tree and actually dissected one of them. It looks just like the photos that are in the links you sent me. Though the fruits are extremely tiny about the size of a garden green pea, but they are yellow/brown as they begin to dry. Is it possible that they could have been pollinated? Is it possible that then if they have been I could propagate a tree from these fruits? How do commercial growers grow ficus trees, only by air root or stem cuttings? Thanks, I will look forward to your help. sherry
The pollinator wasps are tropical and couldn't survive in your climate. In any case there are no other figs to pollenize your tree. Stem cutting or tissue culture are the most common ways ficus are propagated now.
