I have about 8 of these in my yard.. Last summer two of them (the same variety) bloomed like crazy, so I was excited. I even hand pollinated the flowers individually more than once. I didn't get a single fruit to form. So disappointing. I have yet to taste one of these.
I think they might need cross pollination from different varieties, if I remember right. I feel like I saw somewhere that Nikita is partially self fertile but I’m not sure. Don’t give up!

@@LoftinartCoolidge is a self fertile verity that is early ripening
How much water do they need in the summer?
They get watered the same more or less than my in ground figs in that area. Pretty tolerant really
@@Loftinart Thank you!
