I'm a bit worried about the masses of second crop fruit. Will it ripen
in time ???????
With the weather forecast warning of a summer long heatwave they just
might :~)))

And if not, it *might* hold onto them over the winter. My young tree had
its first proper fig late last year, and it finally ripened last month. It
was gorgeous!

Tree is now covered in new little figs, so I don't know if those will do
the same thing. Wonder if I should remove them now to encourage it to 'fig
up' earlier next year?
