Fig Trees

Question

We have moved into a new property and have inherited a large fig tree absolutely full of green figs which have not yet ripened. I have studied your website and printed off the possible reasons for this. However, when the season is over, should a fig tree be pruned? If so, how and at what time? We are in Australia. The tree at present seems out of control.

Answer 1

Any pruning that needs to be done should take place while the tree is in dormancy. Here is an article that you may find helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/figs/pruning-fig-trees.htm
