r/Figs

Just trying a different technique to clone this tree. Worked out beautifully and less stress to the tree.

I need help on why my fig is not growing leaves. Do I need to prune it? Zone 8B.

I've been growing figs for a little while, and recently my friend dropped this off after picking it up from their father's yard (he passed away many months ago, and for whatever reason it turned into this creature). Other than up-potting it what’s the best way to save this fig? It has fruited before; not sure if cutting it when it enters dormancy is the right way to fix an upside-down tree lol.

Hi! These fig trees are around 30 years old. Does anyone have any tips on how I’d wrap this in the winter (zone 7A NJ)? Last year I cut it down and made the mistake of wrapping it with plastic and some burlap since I had nothing else and even though I knew better I thought it was better than nothing.. well it wasn’t and lot of the branches died so I cut them all off and it came back but even more wild. The way this fig tree grows is odd. It’s 3 trees lumped in the same area with crazy amounts of branches off of each and some grow down, on the ground some grow crooked even by cutting them back I couldn’t possibly wrap them all properly by the way the actually grow from the base which seems to have many trunks. Do I have to cut it completely to start training it to grow properly? The first few years we had hundreds of figs per season and this year we’ve had a smaller but decent amount even from the new branches that grew after I pruned a large amount and dead branches. I don’t want to ruin these trees any tips will help 😂 thank you!
