A Comprehensive Guide to Pruning Fig Trees | In Containers, Large in Ground trees, Young Trees & Old

Proper pruning is what separates a good fig grower from the exceptional.
This applies to any fruit tree. The more we can maximize photosynthesis, the better fruit quality we'll have.

In this video, I hope to improve your fig tree pruning skills. We're going to look at a number of situations because everyone's tree is different. We all also have different goals. What do we want is the question everyone should ask themselves before pruning anything. Are your cuts with intention? Do we want a better form? More fruits? A healthier tree? These are all questions you should ask yourself and dramatically change your approach and my advice.
