Fig Tree Pruning 2026

March 7 @ 1:30 pm 3:30 pm EST

Free

Is your fig tree overgrown? Is it so messy and bulky you can no longer harvest the fruit? Or would you like to start a new fig tree? Fig trees require special pruning techniques to help them thrive and fruit abundantly. As Master Gardeners who have a passion for figs we can help you explore strategic pruning for size, shape, productivity, or all three. Best timing for initial pruning and specific follow-up strategies will be demonstrated and discussed. In addition, following the pruning we will have a rooting demonstration. Attendees will have the opportunity to take home a cutting to create their own Fig Tree. Dress for the weather, bring your hand tools, gloves and your enthusiasm.
