HOW & WHY to Pinching Fig Trees

Pinching is performed by simply removing the apical buds or growth tips during the growing season. It's called pinching because the new growth tips are soft and can be easily removed with just our fingers. But be careful! When pruning fig trees during the growing season, they will leak a white sap that can burn your skin! Don’t forget to use gardening gloves.
