	Fig fruit forms from an enlarged, hollow stem base or ‘synconium’, which has masses of little flowers on its inside wall. Amazingly, these interior flowers are pollinated by a tiny wasp (Blastophaga spp.) less than a millimetre across. The wasp enters through a small hole in one end of the synconium and lays her eggs amongst the female flowers.
