Golden Fig

A fig on my tree lit up at the Golden Hour. Not so keen on eating them since I read a link that my sister posted about them.
“The life cycle begins when a female wasp bores into a fig, which isn’t a fruit but a cluster of tiny, inverted flowers encased by a hard skin. The wasp lays her eggs inside the fig and dies. When the larvae hatch, the wingless male larvae fertilize the females. The female wasps mature and visit other figs, delivering pollen from the previous ones with them to fulfill the life cycle.”
And I don’t like the wasps in my garden who have stung me several times! Why do I grow this tree again?
