Pruning fig

4 responses

Manfred says... Figs bear their fruit on new growth. Why do you want to reduce the base for the new growth? If you want to shape it or keep it small, bear in mind that pruning encourages a plant to start growing, so very late winter is going to be less disruptive to a tree than early winter. Bear in mind also that the first crop figs are already forming now, so any of those fruit buds you cut away now won't be there this year.

Fruitylicious1 says... Hi Ibis It is best to prune fig trees immediately after the main crop harvest. So I would say, June is a good time to give them a trim. Happy gardening :-)	About the Author Fruitylicious1 TAMWORTH,2340,NSW 4th June 2018 8:14pm #UserID: 16885 Posts: 709 View All Fruitylicious1's Edible Fruit Trees

Ibis says... Thanks for your reply. I want to keep the tree small so I can net it. Sounds like August may be the best time.	About the Author ibis Erskine 5th June 2018 10:09am #UserID: 3878 Posts: 35 View All ibis's Edible Fruit Trees

Ibis says... Thanks for your reply now I have June and Manfred says August! Funny thing the tree still has fruit ripening strange as it has usually finished by now. Parrots are enjoying a feast as I have removed the net.	About the Author ibis Erskine 5th June 2018 10:16am #UserID: 3878 Posts: 35 View All ibis's Edible Fruit Trees
