Hope you find something that works... another 10 yesterday... and at least 4 today.. had a peak while I was doing some watering nearby...
Hurray! My two trees have at long last started to ripen here in East Sussex, and judging by the numbers of green fruit all over them it is going to be a bumper year. They are 13 yr old Brown Turkey cuttings from a former garden - one is planted in a corner made by 2 walls of the house, no root constriction but also no water or encouragement, and the other is at the top of a bank where I expect it has a huge root run and more water. Both behave the same.Has anyone tried drying figs if they have more than they can eat in the time? I am thinking of halving them and putting them in a fan oven at the lowest possible heat. I have done this with tomatoes and apple rings, and it works like a proper dehydrator.

My 3-year-old outdoor Brown Turkey fig fruited for the first time this year. Can't tell you much about the flavour, the pigeons had the lot.
Just made 6lb into jam so we "hold on to that feeling"!!
