hi, everyone I'm looking for any ripe fastening method or technique that can help to accelerate the harvest process, thanks

search the forum for the word:  oiling

you will find what you need to know.

Remove all new Fruit Embryos that will appear from now on,and also pinch the growing tips of all branches from now on.
The sooner the growing tip grow back remove it again and again.
That will put all the energy created by roots into maturing the existent figs.
Your existent figs will ripe much sooner and grow much larger and better tasting.
This is a method I practiced the last three years and works very well.
The oiling method produces watery tasteless figs,so I do not use it,anymore after I used it once with bad results.

Hi Thunder
 My experience is that oiling for me as well really made them bland tasting 
You gain some days in them getting ripe but you sacrafice the taste quality in my opinion very much. 

herman- when you pinch a tip of a branch - does that same pinched branch regrows again from that same pinching point?

No. It forces branching starting at the closest node(s) below the pinched tip, giving the branch a more lateral (short/squat) characteristic. Rather than reiterate a bunch of threads, I'll say there is a ton of info about what to expect from pinching in recent discussions. Keywords to find those threads: apical dominance

Thanks for posting this information again. Very timely, and I will put it into practice for the rest of the season.
 

thank you jason. yes i just checked it out and its like you said. it is the node below however t it does look like its growing in the same direction

Mildly off topic but I think it's in line with this thread.

Is there anything that can be done to reduce early fruit dropping?

I noticed that some of my potted figs have figs that turn color and appear prun'ish (wrinkly) then fall off before getting up to size and ripening....any cause to this?


I second the pinching technique but would like to learn more about the best timeline to plucking the fig embryo's off, I feel like, at this point, I might be limiting the crop by doing that???
Is there a rule of thumb in the NNJ area on a time frame where it's a known that the embryo's wont make it to maturity so it is safe to peel them off?
Possibly late August I'm thinking?

I'm seeing some of the same thing figs falling off after shriveling. I am also getting a good crop of maturing figs on those trees, so I believe the tree is basically self pruning to manage the energy available. Lots of fruit trees will do this. As for plucking off embryo's, I recall Herman gave August 1st the deadline for fig formation after that he feels they won't ripen. I have also heard August 15th, but I guess it depends on your climate and the variety in question.  

Here is one recently reported method- Protect your fruit and recycle.

If the figs start to wrinkle is that a sign they will drop?

Yes and soft as well. Mine did it about 2 days ago. Most likely a  survival strategy so it has enough energy to thrive. 

Eliminate new Embryos:,in Central NJ,after
August 1st:young Trees
August 10: old trees

Here is a pick of some of the fruits on my Italian Honey tree. They are a bit wrinkled, but not really soft.

Those are not ripe but they will in ,about 10 days.
My IH,has 3 main crop figs that started swelling and coloring yellow,and are close to ripe .In a week they will be ripe .
Also have Blue Celeste and Improved Celeste in the same mood.

Thanks Herman, I'm going to be counting down the days.

That pic makes me even more confident that my St Anthony's is the same as Italian Honey.

Thanks to everyone for your comments, I really appreciate all information given here, it even resolved some other doubts I had not proposed in the topic
