Pinch me! Is it time?

I can not believe that I have to pinch back my VdB already. I'm a whole month earlier than last year to start pinching. I scared that it will try to sprout after if I pinch it back. I guess I'll have to keep pinching since my VdB is only in the second season.

Has any one gotten two main crops because their fig resprouted? It it even possible?

Im a bit unclear why the need to pinch back already. Can you let us know a bit more? Thanks.

A new branch will bring more main crop fig. 1 main crop from what I know.

I'm up to six plus leaves on the new branches already. I could let them go but I'll end up with long branches on my young potted fig that will over produce. This was a tip from Herman.

I also have pinched out a few young trees after they reach 5 full leaves..working on tree growth and branching on young tree to produce healthy mature tree with strong limb system

Pinch after 6th leaf (better at 5th if in colder zone like myself with shorter summers).
It helps expedite emergence of fig embryos of the main crop on the branch. Also it may help create a new shoot that can be pinched at the 6th or 5th leaf with the safe effect for the secondary branch.
