These 3 sweet and flavorful fig varieties can begin ripening half a month before most or all other fig varieties. Their main crops begin to ripen in the last week of July or the first week of August, in WV zone 6b. In short growing seasons, this ripening period can be crucial for figs that do well under the hot summer sun. Ripening during some of the hottest weeks of summer, these 3 figs can produce some of the most prolific crops in short growing seasons.
