My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

pruning new growth

17 years ago

I have a 5 foot tall multi-branched 6 year old Texas Everbearing fig growing in a 15 gallon container. It has put out about 6 inches of new growth along its branches this year. Is it advisable to now cut the ends off the new growth to enhance fig yields?
