Pruning and Pinching Fig Trees. Why, How and an Experiment

In this video we look at some of the pruning cuts made last winter, and why we might choose to prune our plants. We talk quickly about pinching/rubbing trees and maybe some of the benefits and we start another experiment, comparing fours trees of the same variety, two just pinched and two left as they are.

What do you use to fertilise your potted figs? And how often do you apply it?

Nice orchard. Mine is just now going strong. Instead of pinching the top bud could I just cut about 4 inches down and root the cut?

When is the update on your experiment?

I like compact figs too 👍. How tall will you eventually let the mature figs get (in the large pots)?
