And a lot of them! Every figlet is covered with 2-5 wasps. What you see, are not caprifigs but the commons.
The Capris are about 300-400 yards away.

I am not sure about the North but the South and SE may work depending on the frost conditions. I would spread the seeds over a large area or plant the seedlings so they are 50-500 yards apart. In 2-3 years you will have a few dozen of capris that are ready to accept the wasp. Then I would get them from CA via an overnight delivery as a bag of figs with wasps and hang them on each tree that is ready.
If they stay, you get yourself a new invasive species and every arborist and biologist from the area will try to find you to make sure the rest of your life is not too pleasant
(or to make a new friend).
Good luck, guys!USDA z 10a, SoCal. WL: De la Roca, Raspberry Tart, Boysenberry BlushComment
