Any Fig Fanatics?

[Shawn T. W.]

Checked on my one fig "bush" ... It had 3 that looked ripe and felt soft, I picked another one that is still firm ... I'm not sure if it will ripen once picked ... I left the other few that were still very green ...

My first figs!

Yay! Congrats! I have heard they do not ripen off the bush but I feel like they do get softer if left in the fridge for a couple of days.

Our experience is similar as our kalamata figs don't ripen after picking.

All the best, Peter
