My tree is really small, it only has two actual branches, and it was just planted this year. In fact, I was surprised it made figs at all this year. So I should easily be able to cover it with netting next year. The birds only stole the figs when they were just about ripe, not while they were ripening. There was one that I was planning to pick but it got stolen just before I was going to pick it. Oh well, I'll wait till next year.
