Q&A – When is the best time to prune figs?
Question:
When is the best time to prune a fig tree?
Answer:
The best time to prune figs is after the last frost, but before there is new growth. Retired UT Extension Agent Mike Dennison says if in doubt, err on the side of later. The cold weather may kill tissue so you want to wait until you can see what is dead and what survived the winter.
