After a figless week, I had 2 very good, nice sized figs with my salad last night. They were both from my Brown Turkey, and it looks like there will be a few more - I may have to change my opinion of that tree yet again. It is still covered in leaves, while the Black Jack next to it is nude. Most of the rest of my trees are somewhere between, except for the King which seems to think its still summer, leaves is good shape, and lots of new figs.

Not sure whether day-length or temperature, or a combo is the answer. All of my Celeteses, for example, haven't added a new leaf in 6 weeks, but my Armenian has a full load of next year's brebas, already, and if we have a few more warm weeks, they might ripen this year. Then there is my Lebanese, which has has 50+ figs on it (at 30" tall) and hasn't ripened even one, in what is arguably the longest, warmest fig season in years, and shows no sign, whatsoever, of doing so any time soon.

If we have to look at something positive in our zones, it is that our fig trees get a lot lot of rest compared to Jon's figs.
