Last summer's crop of figs from mature fig trees was scant. The few figs that ripened were consumed by birds and ants.
Seeking advice from experts on how/when to prune these mature fig trees. The largest and oldest is a single trunk and is about 10 years old, been pruned severely last winter but is now 15' tall. The other two are about 5 years old and were pruned not too severely last winter. Varieties are Brown Turkey and Celeste. Here in NC Piedmont we have already had our first freeze so I am ready at any time to winter prune severely to get a jump on next season. Thanks for any advice on how to get a good crop of late summer figs like I have had in the past. |
