Allotments 4 All

While down on my plot this came off the tree whilst I was weeding. It's about 1 and a half inches tall.  




If it is a fig is it ripe, if not how long roughly till harvest? Total novice so any hints and tips greatly appreicated.

Looks very much like a fig to me.Why dont you test it now ?.If we dont hear from you for a while we'll know that you are still sat on the loo or i gave you duff info Nick.

Yes that is a fig,i can tell you that because i have two figtrees in my garden.Dont try to eat it because it isnot ripe yet.Ripe figs are brown some are little purple,and i have seen one french variaty with green white striped figs.My figs are ready to eat end august.Depends a little bit on the wetter,but normally in the end of august.The tree were it fall from,has it hand shaped leaves if it does its a fig.

Looks like a fig to me too-also looks as though it's still hard. I think that there are things you can do with green figs -but it's probably not worth it with one.

Definately a fig, and no, I would say definately not ripe.  Mine went deepest purple, almost brown in colour and were very soft and............oh my........so yummy!  :P You are very lucky, I would love to have a matire fig tree on the allotment.  Have a small one in a big pot in the garden.
