I noticed an old post (2012) from 'Darkman' asking what are the temp.requirements for ripening.(It had zero replies)  Same as my question.  A day-night range to keep bearing figs ripening? Anyone out there with the facts or even a good guess?  

It is very hard to ,state ,one sentence fit all cultivars.
Because not all cultivars need same temperature to ripe.
Early ripening cultivar will keep ripening till after frost:
Ex:Malta Black,Improved Celeste,Adriatic JH,Nero 600 M Takoma Violet.
Others need 70 in the day and 50 in the night to continue ripening in the Fall.
Ex:Madeira Black,Ischia Black Sal Corleone, Longue D'Aout, Col de Dame,etc
Fall need to be warm to ripe late cultivars in zone 7,6,and 5.

Hi,
Here as long as the temps get up to 13°C/56°F in the day, the figs ready to ripen, just do it.
Under 10°C/50°F in the day, mine do stop ripening. That is for figs that are almost ripe - figs that popped out before 1st of August.
Of course, that is for trees that still have fruits to ripen. Some trees ripened their fruits sooner and no longer have fruits hanging on the branches.

For this last week, the weather has been a bit fresher, under 10°c, but over 5°C/41°F day and night. All remaining figs have stalled. Some turn dark at skin level but they are still rock hard.
The ones that get next to ripe have a thick skin. But for jam, they are even better ! - they have less water inside.

Thanks so much for your replies. I guess it's going to be a wait and see. Good info both you guys. Be well.
