Pruning a Fiddle Leaf Fig

10 years ago

I have what I believe to be a healthy fiddle leaf fig which seems very happy in its location. It had a major growth spurt this year and the top of the plant is now touching the ceiling and looking a little leggy. If I had another sunny spot I would be tempted to move the tree and let it stretch out but we have limited spots with sufficient light.

Looking for advice on pruning. I love the look of the more tree-form single stem figs but am guessing that I am probably starting with the wrong plant for that? In the absence of that, just want to maintain a healthy, full plant that can stay happy and appropriately sized in this location. I live in Oregon and its late July. Thoughts on the best plan to keep the plant happy?

So appreciate this forum and in particular all of Al's (Tapla) many educational posts and responses.

Thanks in advance!
