I hope this video helps new fig growers understand what it means when we talk about 'pinching'. As I state in the video, I'm not an expert, but simply sharing what has worked for me. Thanks

It looks well branched from here, but yes, I would pinch a few of the longer branches. You can always prune the dormant wood in the winter to reshape it. I hope it fruits for you.Originally posted by Taverna78 View PostFrank ~ zone 7a VAComment

Really well done, Frank. I try to contain my plant size, being as I winter them over in my glass porch. I can't let anything get out of control. You've shown me something new...you snap the growth off and I've been nipping it off with my nails. I can see where your method is more natural for the tree. Lesson heeded. Thanks.Windham CT zone 6aComment

I have been pinching tips also for a few years, but I do it only once per plant per year.
Nice video.

Thanks for the video. Yesterday I pinched my old Texas White Everbearing which is 16 -20 feet in diameter and very tall. I pinched everything I could see or reach. Time will tell.Jerry, Canyon Lake TX 8bComment
