You may not have enough leaves to properly ripen the fruit. Pics would definitely help. __________________ Ross - Zone 6B/7A - Philadelphia My Cultivar List / Pictures! / My YouTube

Hi, I'd leave them as is ... just keep them watered properly. A fig is a fig and better than no fig. I had some trees doing that last year - during my holidays of course- and they made new leaves that sustained the fruits. __________________ ------------------------ Climate from -25°C to + 35°C Only cold hardy figtrees can make it here

If you'll have time to water them daily or even twice per day if they get dry that often then here's what I'd do. Since the pots are so small I'd get them thoroughly wet then use 1/2 houseplant strength fertilizer every other watering and leave the figs on. That's as long as the pots have reasonable drainage. __________________ Zone 6, MO Wish list: Galicia Negra, De La Reina - Pons, Genovese Nero - Rafed's, Sbayi, Souadi, Acciano, Any Rimada, Sodus Sicilian, any Bass, Pons or Axier fig, any great tasting fig.

Sounds like great advice. That's amazing a 14 yr old has an interest in figs. I didn't start in Figs until my late 50's and didn't know there were so many types.
