That’s not really true. You only need the wasps to pollinate. But the tree will fruit without being pollinated.

Depends on the variety. Most of the US ones don’t even need the wasps but the Calimyrna does.

Store bought varieties of the common fig are likely a self-pollinating variety but the wild variety of the common fig, as well as most of the rest of the 800+ species of figs, are not self-pollinating
