Hello all,
I've read that the "appropriate" time to prune a fig tree is at the end of February or when you've had your last frost. I'm in Northern California and either we're having a month-long false spring, or pretty much skipped winter.
So now seems like the right time to prune. The tree's a big overgrown and I'd like to take it back to a more manageable height so I can harvest as much fruit as possible in August/September.
How far back can I/should I trim back? Should I use some sort of spray-on/brush-on pruning sealer?
Thanks for any help or direction you can provide.
