Why do your figs split open before ripening?
According to a publication by California Rare Fruit Growers, Inc. Rains during the period of fruit development and ripening can cause the fruit to split. This certainly fits in with observations here in Melbourne Australia where we are experiencing heavy summer rains and while the fruit on the fig is large and beautifully formed it is now splitting.

How does ethylene gas accelerate the ripening of a banana?
Ethylene gas is a plant hormone that triggers fruit ripening in many plants. The plants start producing ethylene themselves to synchronize ripening of all the fruit on the tree at the same time. Humans use ethylene gas to allow them to pick unripe fruit (which will survive better in transportation over long distances than ripe fruit could) and trigger ripening at the destination shortly before selling the fruit to the public.
How do you stop cherries falling to the bottom of your cherry madiera cake?
Toss cherries or other fruit in flour before adding them to the cake batter. This helps stabilise them, and prevents them from sinking to the bottom. Cut cherries in half, or even in quarters, before tossing them with flour. Cherries are heavy enough to sink in some batters, even with the flour coating - unless they are cut into smaller pieces. Choose a cake with a stiff batter, rather than one with a thin batter. A stiff batter offers more resistance to the cherries, and will not allow them to sink as readily. Rinse halved maraschino or glace cherries under cold running water before flouring them. Flour will adhere better after they are rinsed. Drain any extra water before tossing them in the flour. Place the cherries on top of the cake before it goes into the oven. The ones that sink will not make it all the way to the bottom, and the handful that stay at the top will lend an attractive appearance to the cake.
Why do cherries sometimes burst in the rain?
Just like with fig, cherries sometimes swell with the rain and their fragile skins burst and split and sometimes go moldy.
If sour cherries are picked before fully ripened will they ripen indoors?
Cherries will ripen if picked after they start to change color. You can place partilly ripe cherries in a bowl or paper bag at room temperature and they will ripen to a degree. We have used the technique on sweet and pie cherries as well as wild cherries. Of course they are not as sweet as cherries picked ripe on the tree but they are an improvement over cherries that you don't get at all because the birds ate them! Greg Schneider
