Guys,

   I have a question my small fig plants grew great this year and before next season comes I need a game plan and would like your input. I understand that the Breba grows on last years wood and the main crop grows on the new growth. So how do you prune your trees to have max fruit and not grow tall where fruit is unreachable. Would this work, after breba is picked you prune the branch back allowing say 3" to stay with buds for new growth for that years main growth and main crop? then repeat every year the same? 

I'm talking branches off the main runners.

Hi,
Depends both on your usda-zone and on the strain of the figtree.
Here in my zone7, if I cut a terminal bud this growing season, next season I have no brebas on the sub-stems .
It seems that the stem does not have enough time to both regrow a bud(s) and stuff it with power for it to make brebas.

Here my plan is to reshape my trees every 5 years -except for small branches that are in the way or that I "must" cut asap.
Ho wait, next Spring that is ...5 years ... Oh well, where is the chainsaw ... I need to sharpen the chain. Well, I'll use a hand saw, it'll be enough. Maybe buy a new one for that occasion in end of February beginning of March.
My plan is to fallback to a stem with a bud that is at an acceptable height. My biggest one I probably should cut it back at 2' ... But ... Ok, 5'/6' of max height might be my target.
That damn thing is now at 12' or 15' of height ... She just grew crazy despite some trimming I did last year. But with all the root-mass she has and the fact that the strain is not especially dwarf ...
My bigger Dalmatie will have the same haircut.
They cast to big a shadow in my garden and especially the ufti is now raided by birds too often to my liking, and I nevertheless will break branches while pulling them down to fetch the fruits.
I have other trees of the same strains that I will trim the year after so that I always have production.
