Pruning Fig Trees. 29 March 24.

 I started pruning the fig trees, south of the house.  

These are my main-producing and favorite fig varieties.  I'm cutting about half of the top portions back to 5 or 6 feet.  That is to keep them within reach.  Depending on the variety, those are fall crop (main crop).

The other growth is left in place, or just the growth tip cut.  Those are for summer (breba ) crop.  Again, depending on variety.

Of course, I remove crossing branches, center congestion, branches in the way or dead.
