I attempted to pollinate these  two Col de Dame (blanc) two weeks ago. This is a fig that usually ripens very late here. Both were ripe today, but the unpollinated figs have not enlarged or ripened. So my question is does caprification normally speed ripening?
 

I do not think caprification speeds ripening.

Also, pollination needs to happen earlier in the season, something like early June.

Maybe you should try the same thing without pollen and let us know if that ripens the figs earlier.  Patent the technique then tell us how to do it!  Did these taste as good as usual?

Yes, they tasted great.

Well tell us what you did!  Did you cover them after you pollinated them?  If so, with what?

I injected the pollen in the opening at the bottom of the fig after worming the tip of a plastic 12cc syringe and part of a large hypodermic needle up in it. I used another smaller hypodermic needle stuck through the side of the fig to relieve the air pressure. After injecting the pollen in, I put some duct tape over the opening. The figs changed color and began to swell within a week. A week later they ripened. The other figs on the tree show no signs of ripening although they were the same size as the ones I tried to pollinate. A few seeds from these figs sank, but not nearly as many as some of my other attempts earlier in the year.

Please show video of this if you can.  I have Capri Fig Z.  Maybe i'll try this one day.
