Is April too late to prune a fig tree?
« on: March 25, 2022, 17:06 »
Due to a gardener taking 3 weeks to quote then turning the job down, I’ll only be able to get to this fig tree in April. It’s at my brothers house ( he’s disabled). Would I still be ok to do a prune in mid April? The tree it quite bit and needs cutting back. Thank you.

I tend to prune my pot grown fig in January, but it is always late to leaf up so you might get away with it. If it’s huge I’d risk it.
A woman's place is in her garden.

Yes it really is big! If it misses a year of fruiting next year that won’t be a big issue so I think I’ll risk it. Thank you.
