Winter Dormant Fig Tree Pruning
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 січ 2025
- Winter dormant fig tree pruning. It's deep into Arkansas' winter dormancy period for our trees, grasses and plants. This is the first hard pruning I've done on these three Fig trees. They're about 4 years old and have really formed into nice looking trees.
Two of them are Celeste and the one gifted to us is an unknown variety. The Celeste produced some really sweet and tasty Figs this last growing season and I'm hoping for a good harvest this year now that they've been pruned back.
I hope you enjoy this video. I'd appreciate a subscribe, like, comment and share! Thank you!

![Pruning Fig Trees Perfectly For Fig Cuttings [COMPLETE GUIDE]](/img/n.gif)
No talking, no bs, just pruning. Thanks!
At last. A video that just gets to it. No waffle. Just what I need to know. Thanks.
It works wonderful to help with new growth on the coming year but will stall Fig production as well. If you have any Celeste Fig trees you'll get zero Figs. In my opnion..only do a hard prune if you absolutly have to.
@@JackSpellerberg I have a Celeste I only pruned the dead or odd shape limbs
I was curious on how to prune my fig tree, thank you.
Welcome! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the explanation
Thanks for a wonderful demonstration!
I would’ve liked to have seen a few instructions such as prune to 3 feet high prune out particular branches at ground height -something more for us novice pruners
What was the initial measurement from the ground? Was it 4 feet?
Yes I cut the branches off 4 feet from the ground.
Love the music

Diana Spitzley hello and thank you for watching!
This type of pruning is only for the production of main-crop figs since all the brebas are lost.
An important point. That type of pruning would trash our crop in this part of the world.
Hi love the video 🥰 new to the channel going to subscribe 💚
Thank you! I subscribed to your channel!
So do you cut the node branches off the main branches?
On this one I cut all the branches to a certain height. I think it was cut to 3 feet tall.
Its been 4 years, have you gotten any fig's yet? That is a drastic pruning!!
It was a drastic pruning but it came back like crazy! Loads of Figs and a much healthier tree!
Just curious. So after a cutting like this during the dormant season, when you get back to that following spring summer, how much growth in terms of new leaves and fig production occurs? And is it more realistic to expect that after this type of cutting it might take two seasons or so to get a really nice amount of productionOr does that occur right away?
Thank you for the video! That was awesome!
I can't accurately answer those questions. That's above the scope of my knowledge. I will say though that this pruning on this particular tree encouraged a lot of new growth and a bigger production of figs.
I also did it to increase the airflow in and around the tree because it had grown very dense.
@@JackSpellerberg no that's a perfect answer. I mean I'm pretty much a novice. I was lucky I moved into my new house a year and a half ago and lucky to have a bunch of mature fruit trees in the backyard. I have a fig tree that's about 18 ft tall and 16 ft. Wide so I'm looking to make that bad boy the main supply of fruits. It gives me a nice quarter sized figs but I know they can be much bigger. It's a brown turkey one.. And then I have to do the same. I have a couple apple trees that are way too overgrown and some walnut and black walnut trees.. I didn't realize how fast a fig tree grows. I had cut off some growth in the winter dormant. And then when I came back now late May early June I'm like. Wow. It looks like I cut nothing lol All the new growth and all the new leaves and everything that's sprouted out that I didn't think was going to happen So it feels good seeing that. So now I know that when I cut it back even shorter like you did in your video, I'm going to be okay because it knows how to grow. So that was really helpful. I appreciate you taking the time to respond back
There are two different kinds of figs respect their grow, bush and tree, in your case is bush... Looks like a dessert king fig variety... Good job, greetings...please will share more videos and show to us the progress... :)
*So last year I planted a single stock (5 feet tall) Chicago Hardy kind in zone 6. I saw some leaves grew out of it but it died in the winter. I dug it up and noticed that perhaps the root was still alive but it was too late. So this year I picked up another 5 feet tall Chicago Hardy kind. Should I grow it as a bush? Which means cut it all to the ground during fall and cover up the root ball area with lots of mulch?*
Pretty pampas!!
Jamie Lynne I love those plumbs!!
I'm not one to judge, I'm just curious as to why you cut so much branches off, is it not best to let many branches grow? Will more figs grow even though there's less branches? I'm not an expert, but I'd really like an explanation in my confusion.
I did it for two reasons. One to reduce the dense growth between the branches which gets affected by the high humidity here and two to lower the overall height of the trees.
So will you have Breba figs?
Yes and it was very prolific!
@@JackSpellerbergYou will not have any Breba Figs, you Will have many ,main crop figs on new growth ,Friend.!

I suggest you and better you can in the following way... See the next video:
What type of Figs do you have and what Frost Zone are you in? I just moved to a humid coastal zone 7B/8A and acquired 5 figs. Two Mission, a Violette de Bordeaux, Negronne, and LSU Purple. Most are small and thus going into the ground next Spring. I never realized how many flavor profiles figs can have!
I have two a Celeste and an unknown. I live in zone 7b and they do really well here except in the late summer the humidity gets to them pretty bad.
Jack Spellerberg Thank you! My older plants get a bit of brown spots on the leaves late in the year as well. Compared to other fruit trees these things are beasts though! Super low maintenance. Figs and Mulberries are going into the ground first at my new home for this reason... and their rapid growth/young fruit production as well.
@@JackSpellerberg I'm in zone8a I have a Celeste and brown turkey
Do you make house calls? My fig is beyond redemption...
I don't, but what's going on!?
@@JackSpellerberg lol. I have no luck getting my fix to ripen. They sit on the branches looking like unripe olives. Out of 50 figs this year I got four ripe ones. What am I doing wrong?
@@astrasfo are they young trees? Do the leaves look healthy and does the tree look overall healthy? Where do you live?
@@JackSpellerberg The tree is 3 years old and quite healthy. Only problem is that the figs when they appear do not ripen. An early crop fell off the branches without ripening, followed buy the later crop that largely didn't ripen. Located in Cabin John, MD.
@@astrasfo does it get enough water? Is it in the ground or a pot? Also, a cause is if it's not getting pollinated. That's difficult to find out though. Weather can affect it too. Has it always don't this or is it new?
Mm i>k.
