When I prune my in ground fig trees , I cut them 3 - 4 ft from the ground. The finished tree resembles a bowl with a hollow center for good air flow. I don't use a ladder to harvest the fruit. I let my trees get wider but not taller each year, also remove the thin sucker shoots in the center. good luck !
Thanks for the thought, but in this case the fig is planted in a sunken "box" made of paving slabs and lined with root control fabric so the roots cannot escape. The fig would be several times the size (it is over 25 years old) and have ruined the wall by now if it was not restricted like this.

Thanks - I agree completely. It is just that most gardeners are a bit nervous about such savagery....
