When to prune brown turkey fig tree?

Hi, I am looking for a little help on how to best take care of several fig trees. I am pretty sure they are Brown Turkey (is there a good way to tell other than the fruit?) I am in Austin, TX and would like to know the best time and a general guideline for when and how to prune these for maximum fruit production. In previous years I have had very little fruit. I need to prune them (i think!)quite severely because the trees get way to tall to get the fruit. I have done this in the past but think I must be doing something wrong because of so few figs... Also, any advice on composting, fertilizing and watering would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Molly
