Inducing Figs to Produce Fruit 

I pinched mine maybe in May. Didn't know that induces fruiting, but they are covered in fruit now. Too bad other critters get them as soon as they start ripening, before we have a chance to enjoy them.

Did that on my Mt. Etna type and sure enough I’ll have figs this year!

It works great! We pinched all of our figs that didn't start fruiting on their own already and they're all loaded with figs at every node.
