A new gardening question of the day appears every day of the year on the front page of Almanac.com. Below is the answer to one of the questions from our Gardening Questions and Answers Archive where you can find over 400 more gardening questions (with answers!).
When should I prune my fig tree?
You need to prune only very young fig trees; established ones can be productive with or without heavy pruning. Avoid heavy winter pruning, which can cause the loss of the upcoming crop. It is best to prune immediately after harvesting the first crop of the season. If yours is a late-ripening variety, prune half the branches this summer and the remainder next summer.
