Default [IBC] Germinating Ficus seeds

I didn't know that! You mean those pesky things actually serve a purpose
other than to inflict pain?


The wasps that pollinate figs are very tiny. How tiny? If you have
a fig with fruit on it (as I do, with my mistletoe fig), examine the
bottom of the fruits. You will see a tiny pore. That's the entry
port for the wasp.
