[Nick C]

Just gona throw this out there with low expectations...anybody have or know where I can find Ficus Dammaropsis seeds for sale?

I have tree but I don’t think it pollinates due to a lack of a specialized wasp that pollinates it. I think the primary means of propagation where the wasp isn’t present is air layer. Could be wrong tho.

Do you know of anywhere I could source a tree or air-layer?

might try using carica pollen.  so far only 3 species have been crossed with carica...

ficus auriulata - subgenus: sycomorus / section: sycomorus / subsection: seomorphe
ficus erecta - subgenus: ficus / section: ficus / subsection: frutescentiae
ficus pumila - subgenus: synoecia / section: rhizocladus / subsection: plagiostigma

dammaropsis is in the same subgenus as auriculata, but in a different section, "dammaropsis".  if it worked then maybe the result would be a giant and tasty fig fruit.
