Wow. I don't think I've ever even seen a fresh fig. How interesting about the flowers being inside the fruit....I'll have to think on that some more. We actually picked up a fig tree the other day to plant. Do you know if they are self pollinating or need a mate ?
It depends on what kind of fig tree you got. Some are self-pollinating, while other require insects. They take a few years to mature to produce fruit--I believe ours are 4-5 years old. They are beautiful, fascinating plants!
