Pruning Fig Bush

Question

I have a huge 8′ fig bush that is starting to sprout buds on the tips. But it is so overgrown that I cut a lot of the branches and suckers off. Did I kill it? It’s a really big plant.

Answer 1

I doubt you killed the plant but it's probably affected its new growth. It should regrow, however. In the future, you may want to use this article as a reference: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/figs/pruning-fig-trees.htm
