110 degrees today. Picking some ripe figs made up for it today. One was luscious sweet juicy seedless conadria. Another conadria was this. It was ripe soft but not very sweet and full of seeds. What makes the difference between fruit filled with seeds or not?

Same thing happened on my strawberry Verte. One yr full of seeds and another year sweet and seedless.

Nope AZ. No wasp here, plus I had an organza bag over the fig.

That's how a few figs of my LSU Purple looked one year. Cross between a fig and a luffa sponge. Looked nice on the outside but rough and dry on the inside. I don't know what causes it but it just seems like the inside doesn't develop in sync with the outside. Glad it only happens once in a while.

Hi Figfinatic,
Each year, my first two brebas look like that. It is due to stress of the tree during the growing process.
Sometimes the trees set the brebas before the cold/freezing weather is over, and that causes internal damages to the fruit.
Mine don't expose that much seeds, but cork instead - So skin perfectly ripe and cork inside ... So deceiving !
Last year I even found a small worm (gnat larvae?) in the first chamber (near to the eye) of my first breba ... That one won't breed ! It payed for the fig bad aspect !
Culprit or not was not the question !

As for damaged brebas, I still have some 15 brebas with an external dark stain on my "ufti" strains ... I'm waiting to see if they can develop or will just fall on the floor .
I already knocked those on Dalmatie.
If they do develop I'll see what they look like inside .. Although I might knock them off in the next weeks if they look like going nowhere ...
