Some friends keep their fig tree pruned to 6 ft. so that they can build a pvc structure around it to hold bird netting. Without the netting, the wildlife would be very happy. With the netting, they get to eat the figs!

I kept mine at about that size. You don't want to use sticks or ladders to pick them. Figs should be reachable from the ground if you want them for you. I used to pick a few hundred pounds a day
