Some of the figs are starting to swell, especially Desert King, Lattarula, and Brunswick. I installed three yellow jacket traps. Yellow jackets tunnel through the figs at about the moment they ripen, so when you pick a fig, you get a ball of angry yellow jackets. They are voracious and destroy the entire crop, leaving nothing.
So far I haven't seen any, but not taking any chances.
These are on Desert King.
These are on Lattarula.
These are on Brunswick.
If those Brunswick figs stay on the tree and ripen, it would be one of the best crops of that variety tbat I have had. They are really good, too, and the largest of my fig varieties.
