As an educator on everything related to the fig, I get this question all the time. “Why aren’t my figs ripening?" Believe it or not, your figs are probably ripening. You just don’t know it. But what about tricks that I might know to help speed up their ripening process? After all, that’s mainly why we’re growing fig trees. For the amazing eating experience, figs can offer.
In this video, I’m going to explain all of that and more. Check out the companion guide to this video on the Fig Boss blog: [ Ссылка ]
Introduction (00:00):
Addressing a common question about why figs are not ripening as the fig season approaches its end.
Ripening Misunderstanding (00:35):
Many figs do ripen, but people might not understand the ripening process.
Stages of Fig Growth (01:14):
Description of different growth stages of a fig - from formation, growth stagnation, to the final ripening stage.
Importance of Temperature (02:30):
Figs' ripening can be affected by soil temperature. A colder environment can delay the normal 30-day stagnation period.
Metabolism Analogy (03:06):
Just as humans' metabolisms are influenced by internal temperature, figs' metabolisms are controlled by soil temperature. The optimal soil temperature is around 78 degrees Fahrenheit.
Tips for Earlier Ripening (03:40):
Suggestions include moving figs to warmer locations, ensuring adequate sunlight, and planting fig trees in warmer spots like the south, west, or southwest corner of a property.
Selecting the Right Variety (04:54):
Growing earlier ripening varieties can help. Some varieties might take 90 days to ripen, while others might only take 65 or 70 days.
