Gone with the Wind !
« on: September 16, 2013, 08:02 »
It was a tad blowy here yesterday and the ties on the fig tree popped and one trunk (half the tree) snapped off at the roots !
I said i would have to thin it out to make it easier to pick fruit, job done ! :(
Hope the other half survives as it was fruiting very well.

The ties were new this year but obviously not heavy enough.

Time to check your own ?

Those huge fig leaves do act as sails in high wind, don't they?  :ohmy:

 At least you have half left and they do respond extremely well to hard pruning, albeit rather ad hoc in this case
