Pinching Fig Trees for Hormonal Balance

Often when a fig tree is young or when our trees send up suckers from the soil after a hard prune, those trees need some intervention to aid in fruiting. These trees tend to grow very quickly and neglect fruiting because of their hormonal imbalance. The fruit buds however can typically form on these trees (with the appropriate amount of light duration and intensity), but often those fruit buds will be a bit slower to swell and in some cases, the fruit buds may not swell at all in the duration of your growing season. Pinching can stop the growth at the apical bud location and change the hormones in a way that brings the tree back into balance. This is the main difference between winter pruning and summer pruning. Winter pruning helps to encourage lots of the growth the following season, while summer pruning helps to encourage flowering. And as some of you may know, the fig is an inside out flower.
