Have just moved into a house with a fig tree
Lots of small green figs now (October) but hjave read that figs in UK
climate take 2 years to ripen. Leave the small ones on at the end of
this year - they will be ripe end of next

No, that's not true. The ones that are any size now will drop off in the
spring, and the ones that will ripen in the summer are only just
appearing as tiny knobs now.

Figs won't stay on the tree for two years.

According to Mony last Friday the little fruitlets should be removed now as
they will not ripen and will take food from the plant. The fruit for next
year are just little tiny buds now.
