FIG TREE

[jjb1333]

I have a fig tree in the gardenon which i get lots of figs,
Some are quite big and ripe however their are lots of small ones which are green
Is their anyway i could ripen the smaller ones so that they can be eaten ?

Best thing you can do to speed up the ripening process is to cut back the leaves of the tree as much as possible. This will force all the juice and water being consumed by the leaves to be directed to the figs. If you don't manage to make it happen before the winter time. I hear that un ripened figs are great food for pigs? Good luck
