Main crop question?

16 years ago

I burned off nearly all the breba crop this year do to an over fertilization problem. The trees are growing like crazy and the main crop looks like its going to be huge.

With no breba crop or nearly none will the main crop ripen early? Or will they continue to grow getting bigger and bigger and ripen at their usual time?

What do you mean when you say burned off? Using flame or is this a metaphore?

I am not an expert on breba.
Any "early" ones are welcome to me!
I have heard that "deliberate" removal of the breba
has a good effect on producing more/earlier main-crop
fig fruit...sooo, I think you are good (main-crop-wise)...
