The method of fig pruning is: when the seedlings grow to about 4 cm high, leave 3 cm to cut the top and dry. When the lower axillary buds grow to 3 cm, only the top 3 ~ 5 buds are left as the main branches, and the rest are cut off. In late July of that year, another coring was carried out to prevent the branches from growing in vain and to enrich the basal buds. In the spring of the following year, the main branch was cut short at 12 ~ 15 cm. When the new buds grow to about 3 cm, 2 ~ 3 buds are left on each main branch, and the rest are removed. Pick the core at the end of the volt to prevent the branches from growing in vain and spreading horizontally. After such pruning, it can be cultivated into a beautiful tree with lateral branches. At the beginning of each year, combined with changing pots, the top of the annual branches is cut at the base of 1 ~ 12 cm, and thin branches, diseased branches, over-dense branches, cross branches and overgrown branches are cut off, so that the remaining branches are evenly distributed around the crown and trimmed into round heads. The old branches can be re-cut and renewed.

the pruning time should be carried out before the sap flows (about the first and middle of March in the north). If the tree sap is pruned when it is flowing and sprouting, it will easily cause bleeding, and excessive loss of white sap will affect plant growth.

potted figs are mostly in the shape of open trunk. When pruning, 3 ~ 5 trunks are left for each plant, which are separated from the ground to make them extend at an angle of 3 ~ 5 degrees, and the crown formed is more beautiful. Before sap flows in early spring, the dead branches, pests and diseases branches and overgrown branches should be cut off.

Ficus carica has the characteristics of new branches bearing fruit. As soon as the new branches drill out of the topsoil, they begin to bear fruit, and each leaf grows and bears a fruit until the top. Therefore, in general, new branches should be kept in those years, and unnecessary branches should be cut off after fruiting, and the old branches should be updated once every five years, and each update should be carried out before germination in late autumn or early spring.
