mIEKAL, I'm going to give it a bloody go also. I've noticed that the later
the fig ripens, the lousier the taste. Mine are starting to lose flavor
already.
Lon, Ray Givan or A.J. Bullard said it works but I don't know how much oil
either. Maybe one of them could enlighten us.
As has been discussed previously, location maybe yards apart or the cuttings
from different parts of the parent fig bush could possibly cause late
ripening. I'm going to experiment a little more to try to find out why some
of my bushes ripen too late. If they just started here, frost will do them
in before they ripen. Bullard goes to extreme measures to keep cold weather
from winter killing the tops.
Hope we find that this will produce an edible fig.
