Ficus carica leaves are triangular, fan-shaped and palm-shaped, with alternate leaves, thick paper, wide oval shape, nearly equal length and width, 1-2 cm, usually 3-5-lobed, small lobes oval and irregular blunt teeth at the edge;

The surface is rough, with tiny stalactites and gray pubescence on the back, shallow heart-shaped base, 3- 5 basal lateral veins and 5-7 pairs of lateral veins; Petiole 2-5 cm long and stout; Stipules ovate-lanceolate, about 1 cm long, red.

Plastic pruning

The plastic pruning of Ficus carica is simple, and the technical requirements for pruning and shaping are not high. Generally, the pruning method of natural happy shape with multiple main branches is adopted, but 3-5 main branches are reserved for the whole plant, and no side branches are left, and the main branch group is directly planted on the main branch.

during the period of young trees, we should focus on cultivating the main branches, and pay attention to raising the angle of the main branches to promote multiple branches, so as to achieve the goal of rapidly expanding the crown. After entering the first fruit stage, we should pay special attention to the multi-culture branch group in order to promote the formation of a certain yield.

pay attention to cultivating the backbone branches and renewing the large and medium-sized branches and cutting and shrinking the weak branches at the full fruit stage. For trees with aging or serious diseases and insect pests, the main branches and branch groups can be re-cultivated by using sprouting branches or hidden buds from the base or branches.
