Yes, it is Ficus palmata.  No one has studied its pollination yet.  I feel 
from my casual observation that it does not.  As I have never noticed wasp 
caterpillars in young fruits.  We have another fig, Ficus roxburghii too. 
One sees wasp caterpillars in the fruits of some of trees which makes it 
inedible.  But another type does not have caterpillars and the fruits are 
edible.  It is not possible to distinguish the trees from one another from 
external characteristics.  F. roxburghii trees are protected by farmers as 
its leaves are used as fodder for cattle.

Dr. Parmar,
Is fegra a ficus palmata variety? I believe it requires pollination.
