Fig tree pruning is important for the healthy growth of the tree and increased yield. Basically, attention is paid to **timing**, **purpose**, and **technique**. When to prune? *Winter pruning (main pruning):* After the leaves fall, *February–March* (when the risk of frost is reduced). *Summer pruning (light):* In June–July, only to shorten excessively long shoots. Purposes of pruning To *ventilate* the tree and ensure it receives *sunlight* To remove *dry, diseased, and broken* branches To strengthen fruit-bearing branches To control excessive height How to prune? 1. *Cut off dry and diseased branches.* Make a clean cut close to the trunk. 2. *Remove branches that are growing inwards and rubbing against each other.* 3. *Thin out weak and overly dense branches.* Ensure air circulation within the tree. 4. *Shape the young tree.* Leave 3–5 main branches and remove the others (a bowl/umbrella shape is ideal). 5. *Trim excessively long branches.* Try not to cut more than 20–30% from the tips. Points to Note *Avoid excessive pruning.* Fig trees are sensitive to harsh pruning. *Use sharp and clean tools* (to prevent disease transmission). Do not prune on frosty days. Apply *grafting paste* to large cuts if necessary. If you wish, I can also explain a more specific pruning plan for a **young or old fig tree**.
