Should you pinch your fig trees? It depends on several variables… Do you have a long or short growing season? Is your tree quite young? Which varieties are you growing? Do you want to induce early fruiting or lateral branching? Check the video to find out more and leave a LIKE and a Comment if you have any questions (it’s getting increasingly difficult, but I will try to answer as many as I can)

As a farmer, I love farming and I love everyone who helps promote and post videos about farming in general.
On this occasion, I encourage you, my friend, and I thank you for this good initiative and I support you to continue on this path.
greeting from Morocco.

I bought a half-dead fig “bush” at Lowes for $1 last year and although it seemingly died on me last year in the 3-gallon pot I transplanted it to, it rebounded this year from just the single 3” branch that was clinging to life. It is currently about 2ft tall with three equal branches and a couple smaller ones that just sprouted from the base. If this thing survives another winter I am going to buy several more because they are one of the most delicious and most-versatile fruits that I have ever had! I was under the impression they needed something warmer than a zone 6 climate or else I would have made a fig forest in my yard. 😂

This is probably the best fig growing/care video I’ve found so far, and I’ve watched quite a few! Thanks for explaining the basic principles of fig production both in words and visuals. The close-ups explain so much. I’m now heading on to explore more of your channel.🤗

I have been pinching my cannabis plants for years to promote bushy growth and low plant height.
I also found that squeezing soft new growth, and bending the softened stem witout breaking it, also promotes outward growth, while preserving the main shoot, which will heal and correct itself after energy has gone to the lower branches.

This is By far the most comprehensive and helpful video I found on fig pinching and growing. THANK YOU!

[jsimp]

This video finally answered all of my questions. Very good explanations, that were easy to understand!

[jimbrown]

Outstanding video! Thank you for being very focused on the topic and not babbling for 30+ minutes like some people can in videos.

[ACHNACONE]

This is the best channel for all things fruit trees .. thank you

[KimberleyHasselbrink]

Thank you so much for your videos! Learning so much, it's helping me rehabilitate a mature, overgrown fig tree in my backyard.

[noureddinezroug]

I used this method and it gave me very good results

[davidbond]

Great video as ever! Have you thought of doing a video on care for/pruning etc of figs grown in pots?

Many thanks

[mkb]

Very informative. I’ll try and apply info to my trees. I have had them for about 5 years and they have never produced many figs. They are planted in pots which is probably why they don’t produce much. If you have any suggestions, let me know. Thank you 😊

Learnt a lot of this from watching marijuana vids but those vids and growing my own pot got me into gardening

[vickiesorenson]

This was very helpful for me. I have a miss figgy dwarf fig and it has figs in it but we’re not developing fast enough. It’s a one year old tree. It’s in a pot as well.

Beautiful fig tree propagation, thanks for sharing to us such amazing information and educational, like your style

Grande Jaime, sempre tiveste o dom da palavra e agora nestes últimos tempos tornaste-te um amante da fruticultura e expert em figos e figueiras, e o que também mais admiro é o amor que tens pelo que fazes, daí também este trabalho de excelência. Keep on the good work. BjOOs Moisés e Ana.

I grow a large fig tree in new york, where the cold limits my fruit maturation season.
I will try this next season.

[SimplyJapaneseMaples]

Your videos are very informative and well filmed. Thank you.

você é o maior amigo, quando me meti nestas coisas ha 5 anos não havia ninguém a explicar tão bem principalmente excertos. Abraço!
