Figs Not Ripening

Q. We have two fig trees
loaded with figs. Problem is they are not ripening. What is our problem or do
they take a long time to ripen?


A. Most of the main crop
of figs is still green in June and have developed to maturity. If the tree is
getting plenty of water, the figs should be enlarging rapidly. If the figs are
not enlarging, then the tree is not getting enough water.

Figs
that produce fruit need a lot of water so that the fruit will enlarge. If you
don’t give the tree enough water the fruit will stay small and fall from the
tree, hard as rocks.
