I have a Brown Turkey Fig tree which has grown with out any management for aprox 8 years.
There are 5 trunks all fanning out from the near the same point out of the ground.
Some branches are crossing over and there are some dead ends from the prievous crop.
When i planted the tree i built a containing wall under ground to restrict the root growth and it has helped to give numerous fruit.
Could you please advise as to how i can prune this tree now, remembering it is May 1st in the UK.
We are in a Spring period with the average temp at aprox 15c.
Thanks
