    I saw this video on youtube about a month ago, and thought I'd try it on my blackjack fig tree.

    The tree was starting to go into dormancy for the winter, but there were still several dozen small, green figs left on the branches. So on a couple of branches, I removed all the leaves to see what would happen. And guess what - the figs started turning colors!! But, it's just too cool right now for them to grow to full size and fully ripen. I wish I had seen this video a couple of months ago.

    Next year, I'll give this a try much earlier & get all those leftover figs!
