Apache pruning method (leaf size reduction)
- First, you have to wait for the fig tree to recover from the transplant if it has been transplanted recently.
- Then, when a branch has 8 leaves, you have to clamp (cut them in half) 4 leaves and remove the other 4.
- In early summer, remove all the leaves.
- Then, at the end of summer, you have to cut off all the shoots only if the fig tree is strong.
- Finally, at the end of winter you have to prune the new branches of that year.
