Pests Figs are relatively pest-free plants, especially in cold climates. Still, as with most outdoor plants, pests do occasionally rear their ugly heads. In a greenhouse, figs are similarly pest-free—however, they can attract pests as well, such as mealybugs, as it was in my case. Harvest & Preservation A fully ripe fig is a fragile, perishable delicacy. And fully ripe is when it must be harvested for the very best flavor; no further ripening will occur once a fruit has been separated from a branch. Fruits ready for harvest will droop, soften, and sometimes have a “tear” in their eye. Future Directions Fig trees now thrive planted outdoors as far north as New Jersey and warmer parts of New York. As our planet warms further, I may one day be planting my fig trees in open ground here on my farmden in New York’s Hudson Valley.
