Default Question about Figs

flowers are inside the developing fruit. wasps crawl in to fert the open type of
fig. but most of the ones we grow are self fertile and the "eye" of the fig is
closed. I dont know we even got the right wasp in teh US. Ingrid

I just realized for the first time that my glorious fig tree produces fruit
without a flower. How does this happen? How is it fertilized.

Thanks in advance for any answers
