Fig tree pruning timeThe best time to prune figs is in early spring , because figs will shed their leaves. In early spring, the new leaves of figs will begin to sprout. Pruning them at this time will promote the development of the fig roots and help increase the fruiting rate. How to prune a fig tree1. Potted figs Potted figs should not grow too high, 30 cm is the best. If the plant grows to 40-50 cm in height during the seedling period, you need to cut off the top at 30 cm. When the lowest axillary buds grow to 3 cm, you need to keep the top 3 to 5 buds as the main branches, and cut off the other branches. 2. Naturally grown fig trees Fig trees can be pruned when they are a little bigger. When the seedlings grow to 50 to 60 cm in height, cut off the top at 40 cm. It is best to leave 3 to 5 buds at the top as the main branches and cut off the rest. Fig tree pruning precautionsFirst, cut off the overlapping branches, and then cut the branches of the fig to 30 to 40 centimeters, and then cut off the excess branches and leaves to avoid blocking the sun and causing insufficient nutrients to stop growing. Do not prune too often in winter, because the fig's ability to grow new branches is not strong, and pruning cannot be used to promote growth. |
