This video was extremely informative for me so I thought I'd share and see if this is how anyone else trims their tree and what they think about this method.

Very nice video tutorial and demonstration of pruning the Desert King fig tree.  That gent sure has a beautiful, and productive tree.

(It broke my heart to see all that pruned wood going to waste, instead of being air-layered).

Thanks for sharing the video.

Great video.

Very informative video. Thanks for sharing.

I was thinking of a combination of his method with the japanese step over method. If instead of one spur, you have a cluster, the branch would not need to be  6 feet tall. Further, the fruiting branches would be much lower and easier to net to protect from the birds. This is the first year, I had issues with birds eating my figs.   I am thinking of lowering one of my tree branches to a more manageable size and will report if works.
