Tons of fruit...probably3-400 figs. However, there's a canopy of mimosa and a few other small deciduous trees over it that I think I should thin to let some direct sun on it to ensure ripening... your thoughts? PS- thank you for your responses so far... tremendously helpful

I believe you are correct.  The fruits are about 1" diameter.  Should I cut them down? It doesn't seem like they're useful for anything. Also,  here's one of the fig trees I found on the property

I just closed on a property in zone 8. Southeast Virginia.  There's some old large fig trees and Asian pear,  but I'm struggling to I'd some of the other trees because I've always lived in zone 6. Here's a picture of one.
