Safety First: Fig sap contains latex, which can be irritating to the skin and eyes. Always wear gloves and protective eyewear when handling the sap.
Seasonal Collection: The best time to collect fig sap is during the late spring through early autumn when the tree is actively growing and the sap flow is more abundant.
Tree Health: Only collect sap from healthy, mature trees to avoid stressing young or weakened specimens.
