All I got to say is wow, And thank you, My tree thanks you to,

[@ryanpalmquist4823]

Finally... A GOOD video on putting fig trees. Yes I will subscribe... Ty

[@jeniferm9095]

Thank you so much for actually pruning your fig tree! Nothing more frustrating than watching the video about pruning figs and they just talk about it in front of the tree

[@marlenabergeron7486]

Hey Mr. Worm! We love our garden helpers.

[@crystalgalarsa3597]

This is the best fig pruning video I have come across. I also follow your advice and pulled out a shoot and started a new tree with it. Thanks

[@arlenebrumble4638]

This is the best video of pruning I have ever seen. simple & precise! Thank you so much

[@apivailala4059]

Very helpful thanks so much for sharing! Shout out from New Zealand

[@donnastormer9652]

Thankyou! This was easily understood. One thing I learned for propagation is to use a potato peeler and scape 3 sides up 4 inches from the bottom before putting in soil. You’ll get many more roots that way much sooner.

[@hemidancer64]

Awesome video - thank you! Making cuts at a 45 degree angle makes so much sense. Thanks for sharing your expertise!

[@Devakitty]

This is the best fig pruning video I have found!

[@veranicachow8272]

I finally understand how to prune my fig tree! I’ve watched so many videos and this one is the definitely the very best!

[@kennygillikin5036]

Best fig pruning video I’ve seen thank you

[@anthonypeak1]

Thank for such a great demo. Turns out i was under trimming it

[@marmalade433]

Thanks so much for sharing. This is a great video. I have 8 fig trees mainly from cutting. I am in zone 6 with snow in winter. I leave them in my garage and have to prune them so I can park my car in. This video shows me how to prune and propagate.Thanks again.

[@NonieK2267]

best pruning guide I have seen. Thank you.

[@ferminachan3788]

Thank you so much! I am an amateur in the fig- growing arena, and this vlog is by far the most informative and helpful. You walked us through the whole process of pruning, answering all the 'how's and why's' without having to redirect us to another lengthy vlog. God bless you.

[@matthomson8731]

Thanks for the informative videos. Have all my figs in big pots time to set some of them free. From sunny South Africa.

[@MrYoyoyoh]

Wow thank you so much! Just bought my first fruiting tree today every and it was a Turkey fig! Now in a couple years i can give figs and tree starts to all my friends haha thank you.

[@shannonjansen2213]

This was a great informative video. I'm new to fig trees and I have a over grown brown turkey. Two in fact. Thank you!

[@nancythomas-wardm.b.a2993]

Great info..will do as soon as wind gives up...checking out your play list for.... how to take cuttings from vines xxxx

[@georgerobson6859]

Gods info for persons like me who don’t know swat about fig tree pruning

[@anthonyhaycox1561]

What an excellent video from a thoroughly likeable gentleman. I live in England and have an 8ft fig tree in the garden of a property we moved into eight months ago. The figs are delicious, but I've noticed the tree has grown rapidly throughout our summer. Come winter, I intend to prune the tree back to a sensible size and will put to good use what I have learned here.

[@jolindadevilliers1161]

Very helpful video. Wrong time for doing anything about it now here in South Africa, so I’ll have to be a bit more patient for a while.

[@bezenhappync]

Thanks. Heading out to prune my figs right now.

[@GarrettBroadnax]

I did not expect that breakdown music but I'm all for it.

[@HOlsen789]

Great video. So informative. Very clear understanding of how to prune and propagate.

[@plantabundance]

Glad it was helpful!

[@castleofcostamesa8291]

Thank you and love to you and your family!

[@gregbradford7147]

Thanks! We have a brown turkey fig and it's one fruit tree I wasn't sure how to prune. Also didn't know you could propagate so easily.

[@AirSpartan]

Outstanding video!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to educate others.

[@leahwatola3218]

Thanks for hand tool info. Love the way you explain make it easy to understand. Good job, looking for more info.

[@casualobserver3145]

Thanx for the informative video. I’ve some major pruning to do. I’m in southern Louisiana and my tree is massive.

[@wandaclark2649]

This was so helpful! I now feel confident to prune my fig trees.

[@greyladydamiana]

SMART! Omg thank you. Ours grew over the driveway this year so now I know how to snip it back and train it away

[@tracygrant9123]

Well done video - informative and correct pruning practices. After viewing various videos, this gives me the confidence to prune my two story fig when it looses its leaves. Get the right tools, be aggressive and enjoy the results.

[@ornellaporco4393]

Very knowledgeable and easy to follow. Thank you

[@johnnyparisi4998]

You are the Man! You do a great job of explaining and showing what to do.

[@simplifygardening]

I love figs, and have finally managed to get them planted in the garden. You have a great channel enjoying the videos. Be good to connect sometime. Tony

[@amysnipes4245]

Very good presentation and explanations. I have one in ground in northern Delaware that will get a hard prune in January. Thanks.

[@performancedownunder5773]

A pleasant informative and kind video to watch. Thank you.

[@alanhoos7610]

Thanks, very clear on how to prune figs. I'll have to investigate the other varieties.

[@johnkeynes8873]

Thanks I enjoyed your video, I grow white Adriatic figs both in ground and in containers ì cut my large tree right back last season and have a lot of new long growth which by seeing what you do I'll put that information into practice this winter regards John.

[@tonyv75]

Thanks for this! Why do many dislike for this video?

[@thechaosgardener]

Great video thanks for the guidance. Working on my fig trees

[@ctcollinthib]

I'll take one of those rooted shoots :). Very simple, very informative. Thanks!

[@UncleSamSpeaks]

This was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for your time!!!

[@g.l.5487]

Thank you for the well explained instructions, best video on figs.

[@johnpurser2798]

Thank you. I've got a fig tree on the property and I've been looking some succinct directions on caring for it. I ran into so many talky talky talky videos and I had no doubt they knew what they were talking about but I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do with my fig tree. Yours was sweet and to the point. My fig is pruned back and I know what to do with the cuttings. I'll be prowling around your channel for a while to see what comes next. Very well done and much appreciated.

[@liamobrien180]

Great video. Now I understand how to trim my fig tree. Thank you!

[@joyasadoorian-morgan6204]

Good information. Bought a Chicago fig today. Live in RI. Looking forward to some juicy figs.

[@banecrushr]

Like this guy, hes all about the figs! Question, I have a brown turkey I planted at least 3 or 4 years back. It's really not growing all that well. I give it bindings out of my chicken house in straw at the base for mulch. It's just not getting up there like I feel it should. it's about the size of that BT in this video BTW...Never have pruned it, but will do so this year, and see if that maybe gets it going. Now that I know how to that is...thanks

[@WONDERring]

Yeah! ! Bay Area gardening. Just what I've been looking for.

[@RocketPipeTV]

8:27 I just stick the cuttings directly in the soil on the northern side of my house and have consistent 80-90% rooting success.

[@farmboy75442]

Best trim fig video here/ accurate and precise/ perfect trim tools too. Great job. From Garden Advisor at NHG in Dallas, Texas

[@TAO495]

good video, to the point, concise and actually trimming shown. love it!! I have 2 fig trees and they are getting a bit wild. Need trimming this winter and now I know how!!

[@jacquelinemarvin2417]

Thank you for this video! I've found it very helpful in learning how to care for the fig tree that was in the yard of our new home! You're a great teacher :)

[@mattmichael5345]

Grate video, to the point with the info that was titled, finally!

[@RealistCalif]

Great video. Learned a lot. How often to water a fig tree. I am near L.A where the soil has some clay in it. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. I subscribed today.. God bless you.

[@carmenacosta8746]

Thanks for all the tips. My fig tree is way too tall and now I have the information to give it a good prune!

[@DukeofBabes]

This video is awesome. I never knew of propagating. I had a fig before but I was a novice gardener. This season I purchased a "Little Nakita" dwarf that I am growing in a container. Are ants a problem?

[@davidparker7108]

Great video. Well explained and very clear

[@timehasbegun5828]

I live in South Florida I'm trying to grow fig tree not having much luck. Just subscribed to your channel hopefully fully I will learn some info for my fig 💚 Thank you

[@j.m.7056]

Thanks, Dan. This is the best instruction on fig pruning I have found. Just moved to a new house with an older fig. Now, I can prune correctly!

[@DeonBraun]

Excellent video, thanks for sharing it with the world!

[@wolfyaway424242]

Great video. You give some really handy tips just as you are going. Well done on the instruction. Keep them coming.

[@cacmang42]

Thank you, i liked the pulling technique to preserve roots

[@simplyimpish1055]

You have the coolest tool!

[@lavendersunday8712]

Thank you for the video, I'm a newbie and your video is very easy to understand.

[@schmitzfrance]

Great video. Very educational.

[@desongliu6463]

I really really appreciate your sharing of the knowledge and skills.

[@mistydelaine6088]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. We moved into a house that had a fig tree which last year did not do well. I'm used to the abundant growth of figs as they grow in Louisiana. I've pruned this one as it was only getting leaves and fruit at the very top. No leaves or little branches growing out, except at the top and the tree was about 8 feet tall. I had never seen that before, Actually, the tree is combined of several tall branches. I hope I have "helped" it! I hope now it will sprout out and not just "up."

[@vjtiengineer5496]

Very good video explaining all aspects of pruning and propagating. One question on covering with plastic bag (at the end of the video) - do you need to have some holes in the bag for air circulation? Thanks in advance.

[@Alex-yc8qy]

Lots of useful information contained in this video. Excellent regarding pruning, cuttings, etc. I have a Chicago Hardy fig which will need pruning at the end of this year and also have a Desert King that is just getting started. Both are in pots. Thanks

[@ChrisLawley43]

Thanks for the video I have never prune my fig tree. I have new branches coming up from tbe ground I will leave alone but lots of tbe old tree is rotting. I’m tempted when all leave drop to cut all old rot out, not sure this is right thing to do but believe I will

[@myutube8x]

Really really helpful video. Thank you Dan!

[@aurorawalsh9354]

Great video, thanks! I pruned my brown turkey. If only I could get them to ripen before frost!

[@lizdietrich6801]

Great, succinct info, thank you so much!

[@lizscarnati9081]

Great video, thanks - just planted my first tree - a Chicago Hardy as we are in Delaware - will we have fruit next summer?

[@judy1434]

Dan I enjoy seeing your fig tree pruning video. What is your growing zone please?

[@roundtheworld2737]

I have just subscribed your channel after watching this video with details information regarding fig tree pruning. Can you please advise whether I can also prune my longan fruit tree with your same pruning method?

[@gretamichaleski4953]

Outstanding video!

[@vickieharvey823]

Great helpful video! Just what I needed as I have to prune my fig tree on my own this year. Thanks for your informative instruction.

[@ToplineTrainingGina]

Can you show me how to prune a Tiger Strip Fig? Thanks for your video. It was helpful. I didn't realize different figs needed different pruning.

[@andreakramer9618]

Easy to follow, thank you very much.

[@sunshine037gv]

Thank you! Great and super informative video! That is such a nice help for the beginner gardener!

[@kcramona13]

Hi! I know this is an older post, but hoping to ask a few questions regarding the propagation portion. 1. should you only try to grow from the tips (i.e.: 12" cuttings from each tip?) or does that not matter as long as there are nodes? 2. how long do you keep them in the plastic, watering daily? 3. would you recommend adding anything like perlite to the soil or rooting hormone to the cutting? GREAT video - my 20 foot fig tree that I adopted with my new house needs a lot of love and I can't wait to prune and propagate this fall! THANK YOU

[@aimharry784]

Pretty neat. Could you please let me know how to prune a small fig plant? Do we even need to prune when it’s still a small place plant?

[@julie3650]

Love it! Thanks, very helpful and enjoyed the chucks too!😊

[@corneliardc3328]

First time here. We have an old fig tree in our backyard . I’m here in LA. Before d fruits are big violet and lots of fruits now getting smaller. My questions are: What month best to prune? What fertilizer I will apply and how many time watering d tree. Thanks

[@Yunona1984]

I'm so happy I found your video. We were growing our fig trees so many years, but we were not happy to have good harvest. Now i know we pruned our trees by wrong way. I wish we would have a chance to talk to you more how to turn bush-like fig tree into one-stem tree. Do you have any contact which could be shared with us?

[@golden4248]

This is awesome. I live in Northern Calif too, and my one and only fav fig tree was burned in the Kincaid fire. I see some starters coming out now from the base. I am just wondering how far to cut the burned part back. I was here to watch it burn. sooo saddd. I did discover that roasted figs are delicious

[@medinasod2013]

thank you so much just the information I needed and a quick to the point video

[@markbennett8927]

Brilliant! Simple and on point

[@tomscobbie9140]

Hi, can you give me some advice, I live in Scotland and got a Turkey fig for Christmas it was on my windowsil and started to grow lots of leaves so I put it outside in a polly tunnel so it could get more light, it was doing great for 2 weeks then we got a cold snap in the weather, when I checked on my fig all the leaves had gone limp and shriveled. if I remove all the shriveled leaves will my fig regrow new leaves. I have brought my fig back indoors till winter has gone. Cheers Tom.

[@scottholland4634]

Do you have a follow up video to show how the figs reacted and grew from your trimming. I we have a couple fig "plants" that are going to need some trimming and I am trying to gain the knowledge of how to do it before winter.

[@timsbudgetbbq6711]

Thank you sir. I just planted some seed from one of my fig trees today. I have three that are not producing well, so this winter I will prune them back to see if they are better next year. You are very informative and helped me a lot.

[@markworley1452]

Best I have seen. Five stars

[@cdavis7395]

Thanks so. Much. Easy to see and understand!

[@Devakitty]

I live in Northern California as well. My fig is starting to bud and it’s the end of January. Can I still prune my fig?

[@user-pk1pc8to3w]

great info (great music too! (the Herballiser maybe ?). Dan how old can a fig tree get?

[@petersmith9771]

Thank you. Very good presentation
