October 5th
load of figs on tree

October 16th Had two or three figs each day for the last week and more with maybe a dozen in line for ripening. Early in the month I had cut back most of the longer reaching branches so as not to overwhelm or damage the greenhouse and wonder if that will force more energy into fruit ripening.

October 26th Had the last three figs today as the frost is about to arrive tonight for a week. I wasn't sure they were quite ripe, well two of the moreso, as they were not very soft, hanging down or a bit brown, but those two were the sweeter??

2019 No data recorded

2020 I cut back branches twice this year to allow work in the greenhouse. The greenhouse really needs to be moved?? Lots of figs. August 8th On average I've had a couple a day for well over a week.

2021 No data recorded

2022 July 18th 2 figs today :) October 16th There are a lot of unripe figs 4 were edible today October 30th Still getting a few a day

Nov 29th With the warm November figs every day. But they are not so sweet and slower to ripe and with a possibility of frost I've chopped all but tomorrows breakfast with apple to make a crumble. Dec 17th There has been a few days of frost and most of the unripe figs have fallen so I am using them in what is probably the last apple crumble flapjack.

2023 Aug 6th 2 figs

Nov 5th 2 figs Still a few more that look as if they will ripen

July 26th: Noticed that many figs are missing form the smaller tree, all the large one must have ripened when I went away for a few days. Found one under a leaf that the birds had missed.

2024 Aug 17th One from each tree. Both were larger, darker and more droopy in shape.

Fig and Tree

July 8th, 2016

I stole a twig from an overhanging tree in Calstock last spring. It took well and even produced a few small fig buds to my surprise. I had heard that stress can force a plant to procreate but from a cutting in first year? Anyway this year the four buds have grown to figs and I picked the one really ripe one. It has been soft with a slight red tint for some four or five days. I'd been away for a couple of days and it had not been eaten by slug, snail, mouse, avian, wasp or deer.
