I Have A Bucket Full Of Unripe Figs,why Do They Not Rippen.

Question

i have only 1 fig tree which is about 20 years old,i get about 30 ripe figs every year.

Answer 1

There are a few reason that this will happen. Most typically, stress from underwatering or severe lack of nutrients will be to blame. Unfortunately, too much nitrogen can be to blame, as well, since it will reduce the amount of potassium and phosphorus that the tree can take up. Here are some articles that will help:
