I notice two different types of fig trees in my yard. Some trees seem to ripen up figs in crops. In other words they form a bunch of figs that all ripen over a period of a few weeks. Once those figs are harvested it seems like a new crop starts to swell up and ripen a month or two after that. But in between crops the tree does not ripen figs. Varieties that I observe forming figs in crops are:
LSU Gold
Violette de Bordeuax
Celeste
Other figs seem to continuously put out new growth and new figlets are constantly forming. This leads to a constant supply of a few figs here and there over time. Instead of getting a lot of figs over a few weeks and then no figs for a month or two, these trees will give you a one or two figs every day or two for months at a time. These trees have figs in all stages of development on their branches. Varieties that I observe with this everbearing habit are:
LSU Purple
Joe's Jersey (unknown)
Anyone else notice this?
