Figs
Slightly off topic, but I saw that there was some good advise given
here about fig trees and their fruit, so I hoped someone might answer my fairly basic question: I have a fig tree that is fruiting quite well. How do you know when the fruit is ripe (ready for picking)? Does it go soft or hard or change color or what? Sorry I dont know what type of fig tree it is, but it is about two or three years old and about six feet by six feet spread across my south facing fence. Thanks in advance Chris |

Sorry I dont know what type of fig tree it is, but it is about two or three years old and about six feet by six feet spread across my south facing fence. If it's a Brown Turkey, which seems to be the commonest one planted here, the fat end will go brownish and the flower part inside with go deep red. Pick just one to begin with - if it tastes rich and sweet, then it's ripe, and you can pick any others that have reached the same state. They don't all ripen at once. -- Kay "Do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river" |
