Fig Tree Pruning.

[jonohanson]

How does one go about pruning their rapidly growing out of control (about 5 yr old) fig tree? Its full of fruits at the moment, do I wait till after harvest then prune all the now growth off or do it now?

Cheers

Sounds like you have not restricted the root growth?

As soon as the new shoot on my brown fig get to 2 feet, I pinch out the tip to encourage side shoots.

Thats what i'm worried about, it was already planted when we bought our house, i'm just wandering if we can give it a good prune and when to do it?
