Nice fruit set, my brother grows figs and pinches the terminal ends from the branches in the Spring when they reach 8" - 10" in length. This initiates rapid fruit development. Due to our shorter growing season the latest fruits fail to ripen in October. Branches that don't respond to the pinching, will produce side branches, which can be also be end pinched when they reach 8" - 10" in length.

@@raregrowsNJ Yes! At some point we'll attempt some crosses too since the ones that exist now don't fruit well. From the limited information I have combed through, it seems the easiest way to tell will be if the fruit resemble maypop since it may be a dominant trait. I think a maypop back cross would be useful! The ideal of course being some sort of improvement in fruit quality while also retaining root hardiness down to zone 7 and maybe even zone 6.
