Green as in unripe, not in color. A ripe fig can change your life. That's why I eat them--but I'm still waiting. Figs are one of the most fragile and quick-to-spoil of fruits, hence the steep price.

It is said that if you could grow only one fruit tree in your yard, it should be a fig. They are transient & transcendent, but only when ripe. You have a green fig there, Dear.
