When do you pick figs?

The best time to pick figs is when they are fully ripe and soft. This is usually indicated by a change in color, from green to purple or black. The figs should also be slightly wrinkled and soft to the touch. If you pick figs too early, they will be hard and sour. If you pick them too late, they will be overripe and mushy.

The best time of year to pick figs depends on the climate in your area. In general, figs ripen in late summer or early fall. However, in warmer climates, figs may ripen earlier, and in cooler climates, they may ripen later.

To pick a fig, simply twist it gently until it comes off the tree. Do not pull on the fig, as this can damage the fruit. Once you have picked the figs, you can eat them fresh, use them in recipes, or store them for later.
