I came across this video on how to prune fig trees in cool climates for breba production and thought it would be of interest:

Good video, especially for us in Canada, too bad it gets too cold here for me to maintain a tree that size.  I don't think I can put the effort into winter protecting a tree that size, although several smaller ones work for me.

Great video! I have been pruning my DK tree back in the summer after the breba crop is finished. I may have to reconsider that approach.

Great video. I'm hoping to get a Desert King. Now I'll know how to prune it even in a pot.

Nice video, thanks for sharing.  I liked the tree growing against the building in the background.

thanks figaro. i need to know this stuff.

i thought you just don't prune the branches until the breba crop is done. breba coming from last yr's growth, if you prune them in fall, you'll lose them.

what i'm trying to figure out is how to make my trees hold on to the breba crop. all of them dropped last yr and this yr. only two left on the trees.

Thanks for sharing. My in ground desert king is 6 years old. It gave me more than 300 ripe fruits last year. I am getting concerned about controlling its size. This gives me some idea.
