"Della? Take a lid"
Help me save this hosed up fig tree! I was very cross to learn that in the previous season my family had paid (!) someone to prune the tree to save me the labor and they... completely botched it. Well, first of all, they pruned it in the wrong month, which is a mistake I had also made (at someone else's direction but I should've checked on my own) except I didn't prune it so poorly that the main trunks didn't grow back!

Well, anyway, here's some pictures. You can see those poor trunks. Hopefully someone knows the best way to go about this!

It came with the house decades ago and I think it's three trees, yeah. I pruned it yesterday, thanks for all the advice. I didn't shorten any of the good growth though, didn't see any advice on that or through a Google search. I'll take some pictures this afternoon and post em up. Thanks for all the help!

Cheers, I looked it up this season. It had been getting pruned in early autumn previously! Despite that we've gotten plenty of ripe, tasty fruit. Last season was a dud, though, presumably due to the hackjob (I will never get over this).

Here are the pruned fig trees!











Meant to post sooner but I was busy, or weather was gross.

Edit: did something go horrible wrong with these pics? I can't tell... on the app, so maybe it's fine for everyone else, but something seems wrong?!
