I would like to propagate a fig tree from seed. I have the fig, which
I collected from the ground beneath a tree in a London park.

Are the seeds of my fig likely to be viable? I have read that figs
are polinated by a parasitic wasp. This little thing has to climb
into the fruit to reach the flowers which are inside the fig.

Do we have those intrepid adventurers of the wasp world in this
country?


No, we don't have the wasp.
The figs we grow here fortunately re able to develop without being
pollinated.
