2026-08-31: More for the picking - last day of August and a lot more figs ripening up. Only a few years in the soil and the tree is already matured due to Hyogo’s perfect growing conditions. The milky latex (active enzyme ficin) which acts as a natural pesticide and herbicide make it even easier. The kiwi plant on the other hand is taking longer to produce edible fruit though.
