Harvesting Figs:
Figs can take a year or more to begin producing fruit, but once they do, they’ll yield sweet, delicious figs throughout the season. Harvest the figs when they are soft to the touch and fully ripened.
Storage:
Fresh figs are best eaten right away, but you can store them in the refrigerator for up to a few days. If you have an abundance, consider drying or preserving them for long-term use.
Variations:
Using Different Varieties of Figs:
There are many varieties of figs that can be planted. You could try mixing different types of figs in your vase for a diverse and interesting look. Each variety has its unique flavor and color, making the harvest even more exciting.
Growing Figs in Larger Containers:
If you want to grow fig trees to a larger size, consider using a bigger pot or transitioning to the garden. Figs can become quite large and need more space as they mature.
