Q Two years ago, I planted a Brown Turkey variety of fig tree. It produced a number of fruits last spring in spite of its smallness and youth, but only a handful of figs ripened last fall. Should I do something to promote better ripening this year? It gets several hours of full sunlight and is now watered regularly with a sprinkler system.
