Goat fig

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The buck fig , also called capri, wood or goat fig , is neither a separate biological species of fig , nor a wild form of the edible real fig ( Ficus carica ), but a type of house fig that only has male and short-styled and therefore sterile female flowers called gallbladder . Only the goat fig variety White Marseille produces edible fruits without fertilization by the fig gall wasp . The real fig is characterized by a very complicated reproduction biology, see hereFig inflorescence and flowers .
