**2. Pomological classification and cultivars**

Fig is divided into three groups for the fertilization biological characters: (a) male figs, (b) dried figs, and (c) fresh figs. The male figs take part in *F. carica* caprificus; the other two female figs take part in *F. carica* domestica.


Caprification is to hang a profichi syconium on the branches of female trees for pollination. Caprification is very important in Smyrna-type figs. Fig wasp

(*Blastophaga psenes* L.) which is a pollination vector has a symbiotic life cycle with *F. carica*. Caprification is compulsory for cultivars like Sarılop (Smyrna type) to set economically satisfying fruit [12–14].
