Figs are actually hollow inflorescences with many tiny flowers on the inside.  
[think of a compositae-type  disk turned into a hollow flask with only a small 
opening]

Yours won't ripen or produce seed without pollination [each of the 
hundreds of fig species has a symbiotic fig wasp that breeds in the figs and 
effects pollination; it is one of the most remarkable symbioses in nature].  

Most varieties of home garden edible fig tree are parthenocarpic,  ripening 
without pollination & without any viable seeds.
