The video said that the unripe friut is the flower. Unless I misunderstood something it sounds like there’s not a traditional blossom. And the wasp cralws into the fruit to polenate it.
Yeah all the flowers are on the inside of a fig. That’s actually more or less the fruit you eat too, a bunch of sweet flowers compressed in a pod. Figs are super weird.

Huh, didn’t know that the fig fruit was also the flower.
So does the wasp simply help the propigation of the fig tree when it poliniates or does it helps the fig fruit ripen?
I know fig trees can also propgate via cutings too, so I’m wondering how essential wasps are to fig farms.
Every fruit begins as a flower…
