splitting figs
(James) wrote in message . com...
I have a fig that's either a Brown Turkey or Celeste. Nursery had
them on sale because the labels got lost.
It's finally bearing but the fruits are splitting like 3 pedal flowers
before they are fully ripe. It may be due to excess rain. The
blossom end changed color but the stem end is still green and have
white latex if I pick the fruit. I assume they are not fully ripe
because they taste a little bland. Since this is my first experience
I don't know what to expect.
When fruits go through a dry period the skins harden , then when there
is an abundance of water they skin has no give. This happens to tomato
also.
