To see figs on my trees that will never ripen. Top picture is Negra D Agde, bottom picture is Violet de Bordeaux.
It's so sad...

I have several too. Yesterday I picked some early that I knew wouldn’t ripen and ate the middle out of them. Some were very grassy tasting and some were actually pretty good. All had pretty tough chewy skin. I had some that tasted like cherry that I thought were delicious.

Those VDB in bottom picture look ripe but they are hard as rocks. I purchased that tree from Lowe’s.

I know, it's a bummer. Some years are better than others but I never ripen 100% of my figs.
As it is, this year was worse than most. The super cold spring held a lot back.

I have a Celeste like that. It has started a new season. In late summer all the leaves had rust and fell off, and I picked some of them off. This pic is from two weeks ago and those are all new leaves and it's forming new figs.

If you make your own compost, you should incorporate them in it.
