Pruning Mature Fig Trees
Last summer's crop of figs from mature fig trees was scant. The few figs that ripened were consumed by birds and ants.
Seeking advice from experts on how/when to prune these mature fig trees. The largest and oldest is a single trunk and is about 10 years old, been pruned severely last winter but is now 15' tall. The other two are about 5 years old and were pruned not too severely last winter. Varieties are Brown Turkey and Celeste.
Here in NC Piedmont we have already had our first freeze so I am ready at any time to winter prune severely to get a jump on next season.
Thanks for any advice on how to get a good crop of late summer figs like I have had in the past.
