I am new to fig propagation and I have a bunch of plants that are from cuttings I took this winter from what I now know is a Brown Turkey tree (thanks to help from this forum).The trees are all single stem and are about 24"-30" tall and growing like weeds. I would like to cut them just above a leaf node to encourage lateral branches. What is the best time of year to do this and what is a suggested height to make the cut. The plants are being grown on Long Island NY.Thanks

Bill,Welcome to the forum community.I started a topic on simple pruning procedure.I would let them grow for this season to gain caliper size (to support the scaffold branches), root mass, and prune or air layer the top next spring after dormancy.Good Luck.
Pete,Thanks. I checked out the link to to your pruning topic. Great information that is clearly spelled out.Thanks again,Bill
