Pruning fig trees is an art. Where you cut determines where the tree will grow new branches and set fruit, so you must know how your cuts will affect the tree's form. This is a complete guide for perfectly pruning a fig tree for balance, symmetry and maximum fruit production, as well as taking fig cuttings to propagate fig trees from the pruned wood.
While this video focuses on pruning fig trees in containers, these principles can be applied to pruning in ground fig trees, as well as most other fruit trees.
