In my new coastal North Carolina location I have two fig trees that are 12’ wide and 12’ tall. What to do with a daily harvest of 30 to 50 figs? They only last about 48 hours fresh

KC;

This is on the first page; they show at least 6 pages of recipes so be certain to click on "Show more pages" at the bottom.

Our Figs Recipes

You might have to sign up at the site to view these, but there are some good recipes and you have a lot of free figs!

Ourfigs.com is a website dedicated to fig cultivation. https://www.figdatabase.com is another. It might help you determine what type of fig you have. Look at Celeste fig. It is an old southern favorite. There is another

Here is an old online book which has some recipes in the index. (I have not looked at them!)

USDA Edible Figs their Culture and Curing

Here is an interesting fig tree grown on a Virginia Barrier island you might consider adding to your orchard! (Out of stock this year!)

I would make a jam and either can or freeze small batches. Fig preserves with cream cheese on crackers, mmmmmmmm.

Send them here! Seriously, though I am in MA, would these grow in central Fl.? What kind are they?

My cousin dries her figs. Says it works great.

We have two new Celeste fig trees and they’re hanging in there during this horrible central Texas heat. Biggest problem is the grasshopper infestation.

Keeping netting on the fig trees works well as long as the netting doesn’t work loose but it does and the grasshoppers get in.

We’ve got a flock of guineas ready to let loose once the garden deer fence is finished (hopefully this week) and I can’t tell you how much I’ll enjoy watching them go after the grasshoppers.

:-D
