There are some different reasons that figs may not ripen: 1. Figs need up to 2 months to ripen. If stems were killed by cold weather, the figs produced on new shoots in the spring may not have time to ripen. 2) If the fig tree is new and not established, perhaps it’s not the right fig for his growing zone. 3) If there has been extreme drought or heat, not enough sun (less than 8 hours of full sun), or excessive fertilizer, that could create too much stress for the plant and slow down its ability to produce in time.
