Is there a safe organic way of treating the figs on tree prior to ripening completely that will allow them to be eaten safely? I have over 200 figs still green and the size of a quarter on a 8 ft. honey fig tree.
We would suggest using something like Fertilome Horticultural Oil RTS. This product can be used up until the day of harvest. It is close to harvest you want to use an oil based like mineral or neem oil based products. You may also want to consult the master gardener in your area at Your Local Cooperative Extension Office.
