Hi Joseph, I would wait until late winter or very early spring to cut the fig trees. Whether you get fruit next season will depend on the variety that you are growing and the length of your season. Some fig trees can ripen fruit from new growth in the same season.

I have brown turkey fig trees growing in 18 gallon containers, 5ft, 6ft and 7 ft and have lots of figs, some are purple and some a brown and green. I live in upstate ny and bring them in cold weather. I want to cut them down, the three main stems, and when is the best time to do it and how far down can I go with out without losing next years fruit. They have been in the 18 gallon tubs for three years without repoting. Please advise. thank you joseph

I have a beautiful 2 year old fig tree in my back yard. It has been loaded with beautiful figs for two months, but when they get a little larger than a marble they fall off. They don’t seem to be diseased in any way. What is wrong with them and what can I do to keep them on the tree until ripe?
Thanks, Gloria
