Pruning a Fig Tree in the Summer to DOUBLE Production
The video explains how to increase fig tree production using a technique called Rivers pruning, which involves pinching off the apical buds of select branches to promote branching and increased fruit yield. By identifying branches with larger leaves, which indicate better sunlight exposure, and removing their growth tips, multiple new shoots can form, leading to a potential doubling of fruit production. The method is demonstrated on various fig trees, showing significant improvements in fruit yield and tree density based on past experiments.
