I did it. Our 4yr old container desert king, pruned and root pruned for the first time last week plus I got it up into a 15 gallon nursery pot. I was left with 3, 24 inch scaffolds at the bottom...and a center trunk that I pruned down last week to 44 inches in height. Well today...i did the scaffolds again down to 21 inches and pruned the center trunk down to 21 inches. I was so afraid to bring it all down to same height but if what youre saying is correct..then I cant go wrong. Thankyou so much, I feel relieved that I just got it done. .

Growth hormones are not transported to the apex, it's the other way around . (Wikipedia) Typically, the end of a shoot contains an apical bud, which is the location where shoot growth occurs. The apical bud produces a hormone, auxin, (IAA) that inhibits growth of the lateral buds further down on the stem towards the axillary bud. It was first discovered in 1934 that the plant hormone auxin likely regulates apical dominance. Auxin is predominantly produced in the growing shoot apex and is transported throughout the plant via the phloem and diffuses into lateral buds which prevents elongation.

I planted a fig tree two years ago in southern California. It has never been pruned. It is 4 ft tall, and is all over the place. The center of the tree is tall, and weak, needing support. It has fruited heavily for 2 years in a row. (It was fruiting when I purchased it) My question is when I prune it should I cut the top portion shorter to help it become stronger. If yes how much should I cut from it. Also there are even branches growing low on the tree, touching the soil.

@TheMillennialGardener

If I were you and lived in SW Florida, I would manually defoliate my trees in January and prune them. I wouldn't want to keep those old, rusty leaves on there that suffered through the summer. Your climate is very different than the fig's native climate. They're naturally deciduous trees, and they need a cool season with short days for best performance. Since your climate doesn't give them what they want naturally, you can trick them into re-establishing themselves by giving them an aggressive pruning and manually defoliating the tree. That's what I'd do, anyway.

take it from a Fig Tree owner who knew almost nothing about Figs when I bought my tree at the Colonial Williamsburg Garden Market 20 years ago. This is a knowledgable & excellent FIG EXPERT. I learned so muchj by watching this & another Fig video from this Creator. My own tree is in the ground & ever since the 1st year after I bought my tree (it was 2 feet in height & after pruning each year, it still gets too high for me to reach the top; it's 15 feet as I write this) I've ALWAYS gotten amazing fruit in August. I'm in the Northeast in zone 6 & every since the 5th year, I've pruned this tree almost back to its root base. I kind of WISH it wouldn't make so much fruit since most ppl don't know how delicious Figs are. Plus, they're kinda unforgiving as far as ripening. Once picked, they ripen quickly. But as far as pruning? Well, every year just to keep this tree manageable I prune it back BOTH in Winter & a few times even in March/ early spring. So, I wish I knew what Fig tree type I have, but this tree is almost indestructible. I've never fed it, ignore it & it still produces bushels & bushels of Figs every August.

This was the most thorough and easily understood instruction on how to prune fig trees. You are an excellent teacher. Many thanks. I recently inherited many fig trees from a friend who died. I have been watching so many videos about successfully growing fig trees. Several have given contradictory/ confusing information to this “newbie”. I am trying to sort it all out, and know that after watching one in particular, I should NOT have gone outside and removed the apical bud! Well, it’s done😖. I have been carefully studying each tree and there is one ( btw, they are all in pots) that has 4 new shoots coming from under the soil and right next to the main stem. I think that these 4 should be removed and discarded, because they would not root. Is this correct? I see no tiny figs on these shoots, just lush growth. Again, thank you for sharing your experience and expertise with us all.

Thank you for the informative video. I have a brown turkey fig tree that's about 4 yrs old now. It started bearing fruit last year, but not a lot yet. It was getting quite tall (about 12 ft) so this past winter (February) I cut the branches way back to about 6 ft., so I can reach the fruit easier. In doing so, I cut away the parts of the branches that had nodes (that bear leaves & fruit). So I don't expect I'll get any fruit this year, but I'm assuming I will next year when the fig tree rebounds. Is that a fair assumption... or did I kill my tree by pruning too aggressively?

I understand the pruning of the branches, but what about the root ball so the roots don’t take over the pot? I found only one other video on KZitem that a guy talks about and shows how to do this. He makes mention that it’s ok to do to a point (not cutting the roots that close to the main root ball), but wonder if you do this also and or could do a video on how to do this too without stressing the plant too much. I want to keep my figs in pots (eventually in 10 Gal pots as final size, to not be too hard to move in garage for winter hibernation) but don’t want root issues.

I started to collect this year with some 15 varieties. My first fig tree, I bough eight years ago and never produce. I took couple cuttings and reproduce them, after three years (2020) they produce around 40 figs each and I got hook. Now the original older tree have some signs of fruit production showing some double buts. Is very hard to fine out the figs varieties USDA growing zones most of the times. I have to go by what growers plant on their location, but mostly they do not mention their growing zone.

Thank you. I tried to keep it short and to the point, but not so short it lacks detail. I'm in a very strong 8A here in Brunswick County (the last 2 winters have been 9a by my weather station). It's interesting your tree took so long to produce. Typically they produce first season. When this happens, it is likely due to underfertilizing and lack of pruning. Figs are heavier feeders than any plant I've ever grown and require monumental amounts of fertilizer, especially when grown in containers. We're talking weekly full strength feedings of MiracleGro soluble, plus bone meal and organic granules. Pruning them back pretty heavily in the winter and heavy fertilizing in the spring and summer gets them to really produce a lot of fruits.

By mid to late January, the first leaves formed. Now, in mid February, I have great looking trees with lots of leaves and the roots look strong. Things have progressed quicker than I expected. I live in New York, Zone 7b so I’d rather not up pot them yet because I have a foot of snow outside. However, I’m concerned because I have not fertilized them yet.

I have a guide on fertilizing fig cuttings here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/yJ6im4yhhYdll2U Short answer is you want to use fractional strength, heavily diluted chemical soluble fertilizer. Don’t use anything organic or smelly while indoors that will stink and attract pests. This is one of those cases where synthetic is best. Once days get above 40, you’ll want to slowly carry them outside for a couple hours of weak sunlight to acclimate them. Weak winter sun is best for acclimation because it doesn’t scald leaves as badly. You’ll want to do this slowly.

Fantastic video, super clear and instructive. BTW, the pull saw have two sides, one is for cross cutting the other one for rip cutting. The "fine" one is the one for cross cutting which it is what you did.

How far above a node should we cut to allow for dieback? Thanks

On the pull saw the "fine tooth" is a crosscut and the "coarse tooth" is a rip cut.

Thank you so much. I recently pruned using clean tools but based on your video, I think I made some cutting errors on the nodes.

Glad it was helpful. Try not to cut through the nodes if possible. That's where the figs prefer to send notes, so you'll want them as intact as possible.

Hi There ! Can you please help me bud? How and when to fertilize a fruit forming fig tree ! One of my fig tree is now forming 20+ figs! Should I fertilize it right now? After how many days later should I fertilize my full fruit forming fig trees? Or I should fertilize it after harvesting the total figs? Can excessive fertiling cause figs dropping? Please answer my ques ! I'm in great trouble :(

How wonderful to have found you. I guess it's because my phones AI both listens to me, and remembers what I order, view, etc. I've just bought a couple of bare root figs, and a number of other varieties that will need to be pruned to desired shape. So thank you for such detailed information and illustrating your methods with succinct and informed reasoning.

Fig trees are in fields and not flower pots and they produce hundreds of kilos per tree annually. These flower pots are Mikey Mouse cartoons and not fig growing.

You should research the climatic requirements of figs caused by their native habitats. Figs are endemic to the Mediterranean, where rainfall patterns are very specific. Mediterranean climates only occur on 2% of the globe. If you live on the other 98%, you need to think differently.

When propagating some fig cuttings, should I take off any leaves that grow or leave them?
@TheMillennialGardener

Are you talking about before you root the cuttings or after? Buds should be slowly opening and leaves emerging as the cuttings root. You would not want to remove leaves emerging during the rooting process. You generally root cuttings during dormancy, so the cuttings should have no leaves prior to rooting.
