They say to prune a fig annually to 4 feet late winter and then it will grow about 2 feet more by harvesting time, making a 6 foot tree much easier to reach the top! On the other hand, I love my big tree, it's really beautiful to look at!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-20726150201137788832019-07-25T16:47:53.341-04:002019-07-25T16:47:53.341-04:00Wish they lasted longer and I could ship you some ...Wish they lasted longer and I could ship you some Gina!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-23483384062422151482019-07-25T11:01:58.513-04:002019-07-25T11:01:58.513-04:00Dear Mary, What a treasure you have.

Sometimes it seems the birds/squirrels get the bulk of the harvest when it comes to fruit bearing trees and shrubs. Your tree is amazing. Large yet nicely shaped. I don't think I'll ever see a fig without thinking of you :). We got the rain over here too. Wasn't it delightful and this morning dawned so fresh and clear. Enjoying this short break from the heat and humidity.Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-6521574717805368382019-07-24T11:00:36.705-04:002019-07-24T11:00:36.705-04:00Lovely figs, Mary!

It was so very welcome and the cooler temperatures, as well. Your tree is pretty, and the large fig leaves look amazing. :)<br /><br />Have a great day!<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />Denise at Forest ManorDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01235440820949449634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-40627653041117305932019-07-24T10:58:24.906-04:002019-07-24T10:58:24.906-04:00I remember my mother picking figs from a tree in o...I remember my mother picking figs from a tree in our yard ~~~ thank you for resurrecting that seeet memory. My son arrives in Raleigh mid-August. Leased a house in Wyckford area. One year should afford him plenty of time to scope out where he wants to purchase.
