Figs
wertach2

I'm seeing good results from my heavy pruning!

wertach zone 7-B SC
10 years ago

I heavily pruned my huge fig tree this winter and shared the cuttings with folks on here.

I couldn't find my old post to do an update, so I'll start a new one.

I hope no one minds.

I didn't get any breba, but I have about three times as many main crop figs on the tree now!

If the bees don't get them before they ripen I will be drowning in figs. More than I can ever use or have time to put up.

Friends and co-workers will be happy!
