Nice article Frank,  I enjoyed reading for sure. Picked up a couple "fig" specific pruning ideas, and I find it rather interesting how simular the ideas and are steps are to pruning other fruit trees, such as stone fruits and so on. 

Thanks Frank I had been looking for that info... I tend to be a willy nilly pruner and wanted to do a better job this year..

Great info, Frank!  Thanks for the link.

Thanks Frank, I am one that needs to learn the right way, I am a random hacker.

Thanks for sharing that Frank, very helpful!

Thanks Frank ,great info!

Thank you man.

Thanks! Glad this post helped some of our Members! : )

Thanks for that post Frank... Good info...

Frank, great information. I did a little searching and found YOUTUBE has videos on the same subject. There are lots of them, and here is a link to one I liked. Hope it helps others.

Bevman,

Outstanding video.  The speaker did an excellent job explaining the process and WHY you do this or that.  Thanks!

   If I understand right, the Breba crop forms on last years wood, and the main crop on the new green wood. So if you prune for a Breba crop, the main crop follows on the new wood that grows that year.
If I am wrong, someone please speak up.

I guess I learned the spelling wrong, it is Breva not Breba. Here is a link that I think explains the two crops.

Your link Bevman didn't seem to work but you might find the info you seek here..breva is just the Spanish for breba   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breba

My link sort of works. It takes you to the right place but for some reason it adds the characters  %C2%A0 . If you erase those and refresh the page comes up. Your page says the same thing as the one I linked. So it is my opinion that if you prune a tree for Breva production, it will do fine for main crop production since they grow on the new wood that grows on the old wood.
