My question is: Should I remove the green figs?

As I understand it, you remove all the figs bigger than a pea (Bob
Jlowerdew) but not till after all the leaves have fallen (Monty Don on
GW last Friday).
I am also new to fig growing and will try this process, but as BAC
says, trees can be prolific with no such tending. Of course, it is
only in climates such as ours that it needs doing anyway. In Med
climates each successive crop will ripen.
