Fig Trees

[petewill24]

I have inherited an established fig tree about 12 feet high and spread.it is covered in very small dried out figs which are the remains of last autumns fruiting.My question is,should I remove these now or allow them to ( hopefully) drop off naturally,and if that is the case,will they prevent a new crop forming?

you should remove all figs that have not ripened by September

our fig trees here ( south west france) seem to get a crop of false figs at this time of year, which drop off and the true fruit appears later

A fig tree is a wonderful thing to have - pick the figs when they are ripe and eat them as you are standing in the garden, mmmmmmmmm!!
Enjoy!
