This isn't really great question, just me being impatient. Since this is my first summer growing figs. I am very anxious to try some home grown figs. None  of the figs I have had any Breba this year. Most of the 2 year old trees I bought this year are now starting to show little tiny figs. This one older tree I planted last year has had them already for a few weeks. I know the cold wet spring has probably delayed the trees growing and fruiting. I guess my question is in my zone If this tree started it's main crop I think about the beginning of June, they would be ready some time in August? If the other trees are just starting now will they have enough time to ripen?


How do these look so far?

they look great! only one of my tree has anything on it. and with my reporting adventure, i'm not even sure they will ripe...

I read in the forum, it will take 75 days from when the fig shows. so, if your weather holds up, i think you will get some fig... then again i'm so new, i might be wrong. :)

The one's pictured will certainly ripen, I would say before September.  What cultivar is pictured?

GTO:If you want your ,now ,embryos to ripe you will have to brake off all new embryos,born August 1st or later.

Thanks guys! Ed Im not sure I bought it last year at the end of summer. I this is a tree I did not cover over winter. All I was told is it's a brown fig and winter hardy. Herman so Aug 1st pull off any baby figs anything before that shows up is ok to leave on and it will be good

Yes:it is to preserve the plant energy and speed the ripening of present fruits.

Thanks Herman.

That
s great advice Herman, I'm going to try that with my in ground Sal's Corleone as every year I am left with a large amount of unripened figs that are stopped by a frost. 

I noticed something the other day. This seems to have a lot of figs on it for the size, I'm guessing anyway... It really has not put any growth on. It has grown a few inches on the branches then put on figs. The only branchs that have really grew a lot maybe suckers or coming up from the tree. i can not really tell. Is this normal that it would not grow that much and have figs early? What is I think is interesting is that I did not pinch this tree. I have another tree of a different variety, but same seller that I did pinch a lot of branches on. I belive I did it correctly and it is powering through the pinching and keeps growing. I only have two figs I can see for sure and one is growing quickly.

Ok, I noticed today there are a few new figs showing up. The figs that are on there have not done much since I started this thread. I figured with this heat wave maybe I would see something happen... They are maybe a little bigger. My other younger trees had figs show up later and they are almost as big and seem like they will surpase this tree soon. I have been reading other topics and I am wondering if I should pull off the new figs showing up now, even though it is not August yet. I am thinking maybe the tree can not support the number of fruits it has now. I think there are roughly 30-40 figs on the tree now. It has not really put on much growth or leaves like the other trees. The only branches that grew are the ones from the bottom. I am worried now if all the fruit will tak to much energy away from the tree for the winter. What do you guys think? 

Yes you are right:Remove some more figs,leave only half the number,the oldest on new growth.

Thanks Herman, so is it that the tree does have enough leaves or it's just not big enough in general?

Hey guys, I'm stull a little nervous about these figs. I'm probably nuts, stressing about it, but want a ripe fig really bad. I removed about 25-30 figs from the tree and there are if I counted correctly 38 figs left. Since I have pulled off the figs. I think maybe the remaining figs got slightly larger, but the trees seems to have started growing mostly all from from the bottom up. Here is a picture you can see a difference from the last pic. I did not pinch anything on the tree since I did want it to grow and fill in since it was small when I got it, but the branch on the upper part hardly grew and just a few inches then set figs. I was looking today to see if I can pinch, but the top branches hardly have tips and some don't have them at all.  Should I just sit tight and wait for them?

It is doing great ,let the plant become a bush as your aREA IS TOO COLD FOR A SINGLE TRUNK FIG.
iT SEEM IT KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT TO DO TO SURVIVE IN YOUR COLD CLIMATE.

Thanks Herman, as soon as I get some ripe ones. I will swing by with them and some leaves. I have been doing a little comparing and I think I have a guess of what type of tree it is.
