  • How much longer

    This Atreano tree set fruits last week of June, about 30 of them. I have been looking at them every morning while having breakfast (the tree is sitting on my balcony outside my kitchen). Very excited to see the results. Does anyone have any clue how much longer until ripe?

    Please forgive me for inpatience, second year here with serious fruiting first time.

    You can get a good idea from looking into information others have posted like this site here.
    Says you should need about 80 days for ripening, though that will vary depending on your climate.

      According to Ross, mostly 90 day, from figlet to maturity.

      Depends on his area...temps/zone.

    Waiting is the hardest part. As Ktrain said about 80 days it also depends on what size they were on June 30th. So your looking at about the 3rd week in September or so.

    You’re in zone 5 or 6 so I would say at least another 2 or 3 weeks

    Mid to late September is a good time to start watching them rioe and wait until they droop to pick them.

      Understand. The thing is every morning I have my breakfast the tree is direct in front of me, ~3m from me. Me at kitchen table —-> screen door —> tree. Maybe I should relocate it!

    From Bud break to Ripe figs should take 3 - 5 months depending on the Cultivar (Early to Late ripening).
    Atreano is a Mid-ripening cultivar, so ~ 4 months total from bud break if both Day and Night temperatures are above a low of 50°F

    https://www.ourfigs.com/forum/figs-h...398#post239398

    Phenology; The Fig: Botany, Horticulture and Breeding
    Breba Figs: (3 to 3-1/2 months)
    Stage I ... Spring growth to quiescence, 7 - 8 weeks
    Stage II ... Quiescence stage (or stagnant stage) 2 weeks.
    Stage III ... Ripening 2 weeks.

    Main Crop Figs: (3 to 5 months / early to late ripening)
    Stage I ... Rapid growth to quiescence, 5 - 6 weeks
    Stage II ... Quiescence stage (or stagnant stage) 3 - 8 weeks (depending on the fig Cultivar)
    Stage III ... Ripening 3 - 5 weeks.

    Preliminary Heuristic GDD values for Fig Cultivars;
    GDD / Season
    1500 - Breba crop figs ripen (3 months)
    1800 - Very early ripening main crop figs (3 months)
    2000 - Early ripening main crop figs (3-1/2 months)
    2500 - Middle ripening main crop figs (4 Months)
    3000 - Late ripening main crop figs (5 months)

    Zone 4A



    Zone 8A
