Stupid fig tree... Should I chop it or give it a stay of execution?

Luke 13:6-9

You have to cut to produce.

Major prune?

Fig trees aren't exactly pretty so if your not a fig eater chop it down


Oh and build them an elevated play house...

Had one start acting like that a few years back..... Give it a good prune job in late Jan. early Feb. but for now lime it really good on the ground all around its branch reach but not alot close to the drunk....leave at least a 1ft circle with no lime around trunk....when you prune it in Jan./Feb. also fertilize with triple 8 the same way you limed it....watch that sumbitch get pretty and hold leaves all summer

With 3 established trees around the fig tree, I wouldn't be surprised if its being out competed for water/nutrients. Especially with this dry spell we've been having. I'd prune and fertilize in late Feb.

Fig trees thrive the best with other tress near it for shade...they do not do well in direct sunlight....those tress at those distances look to be great...and judging by the size of the fig tree in general it's done well just needs a boost

When colder weather comes prune it back. In the meantime anytime you have fish heads etc. use post hole diggers near the roots and bury your them there.
