Apparently they make sure fig trees are pollinated? Which I learned from a Medical Disabilities Guidelines website so um... it also tells me that one of the most common medical conditions to affect fig caprifier's is pregnancy.
...
Uh.
Well then.

actually, i think what gets me most is the way they just say 'look up "fig caprifier" in the manual', as if that were just something so _obvious_.
like, what else would you do?

Oh I'm a derp, I totally missed half the point of your post. Now I see where the wasps come in.
Is that sort of like the dark underbelly of fig caprifying (lol, i've decided that's a word). Is it sort of like when therapists and their patients make babies? Everybody gives you side-eye and waits for the baby to see if it's waspy or not.
