According to the characteristics of fig with few branches and strong growth potential, in the process of young tree shaping, in order to quickly increase branches, expand crown and promote early flowering and fruiting, the pruning amount should be appropriately light; Later, with the growth of tree age, the number of branches gradually increased and the growth potential gradually weakened. If we continue to cut lightly, it will easily affect the light, which is not conducive to the growth and development of fruiting mother branches, and will reduce the fruiting parts and affect the yield.

After plastic surgery, the main job of pruning in winter is to keep the tree shape. The extension branches of main branches and side branches are moderately short; In order to keep the growth balance of main branches and side branches, weak branches should be lightly cut and often left; Large branches crossing or parallel to each other in the crown should be properly thinned out to avoid mutual influence. Long branches sprouting in rhizosphere, at the base of big branches or near wounds can be cultivated as fruiting mother branches or used for regeneration when branches are missing or space is large, and those that cannot be used should be thinned out as soon as possible.

Ficus carica 1 year-old branches can almost become fruiting mother branches and bear fruiting branches. If you keep all the bearing branches, they will affect each other because they are too dense, so you should choose the best and discard the bad, and properly remove the dense branches and twigs. After the terminal buds of some varieties are elongated, new buds with strong growth potential can be extracted from the buds below them, and 1 ~ 2 new buds with suitable orientation and strong growth potential can be selected from them, and the redundant new buds can be thinned out; However, for varieties with weak germination ability, it is not necessary to remove them, but to promote the germination and fruiting of new branches in the middle and lower parts and prevent the fruiting parts from moving out too fast. Varieties with autumn fruit as the main fruit bear late fruit and heavy fruit drop. If there are many branches, they can be thinned, and if there are few branches, they can also be used to hang fruits.

For early-maturing varieties, the fruit on the new shoot of the terminal bud ripens early and the fruit is large. Generally, this fruiting branch should not be cut short. For other varieties, there is no need to pay special attention to preservation, that is, short cutting will not affect the yield. Because the new shoots of this fig, except for the basal 1 ~ 2 buds, few branches blossom and bear fruit, and most other branches can.

The fruiting parts on the main branches and lateral branches of fig will gradually move outward with the growth of tree age, resulting in emptiness at the base. In order to stabilize the fruiting area and delay the outward migration of fruiting parts, weak lateral branches and auxiliary branches can be thinned from the base to promote the germination of new buds and enrich the base. The new shoots germinated by these latent buds can also blossom and bear fruit in the same year, but the fruit quality is poor. The new shoots of fig are easy to blossom and bear fruit, so the purpose of thinning weak branches is mainly to regenerate shoots, not just to promote the growth and bearing of new shoots.
