Do I need to prune or just let nature take its course?

Jon not in a mood to deal with newbies? Yes is correct though, you can prune it or just let it grow. More info is needed, like in a pot, your zone, how big you want it to get, etc.... __________________ San Jose 9b http://www.kevinsedibleyard.com/

Hi Bugmagnet, Depends on the size of your tree :) . Which USDA zone are you in ? I have a 6 years old tree that I never pruned myself except for removing the suckers at the base. But, in my Zone 7, I get free style pruning during the winter from winter die-back . Especially in the harsh winter of 2012 ... my trees got a special pruning that lowered their size... If your tree has too many branches, prune the ones going inward and space the branches on the trunks . If you show us a pic, we can better help with the haircut ... I bet punky is the trend this year :P . __________________ ------------------------ Climate from -25°C to + 35°C Only cold hardy figtrees can make it here
