Proper pruning is essential to ensure the health and longevity of your fig trees. At The Yard, our experts follow a detailed and professional approach to pruning fig trees.
Inspecting the Tree’s Health
We begin by assessing the overall health of the fig tree. This includes identifying dead, diseased, or damaged branches that could hinder growth. Our experts check for pest infestations and signs of fungal infections to ensure your tree is in optimal condition.
Strategic Cutting for Growth
Pruning isn’t just about cutting branches—it’s about strategy. We carefully remove overcrowded or poorly placed branches to allow sunlight and air circulation. This process encourages healthy growth and improves fruit production for the next season.
Shaping and Maintenance
A well-pruned fig tree is not only healthier but also more visually appealing. We shape the tree to enhance its structure while keeping it manageable. Regular maintenance pruning is recommended to promote consistent growth and minimise future problems.
Disposal of Pruned Material
Once the pruning is complete, we responsibly dispose of all cut branches and debris, leaving your space neat and clean.
Fig tree pruning services provide numerous benefits for both your garden and the health of the tree itself.
Improved Fruit Production
The primary benefit of pruning is the boost in fruit yield. By removing deadwood and opening up the canopy, fig trees can focus their energy on producing high-quality fruit.
Enhanced Tree Health
Pruning eliminates diseased or damaged branches, reducing the risk of pests and infections spreading. It also promotes better nutrient distribution throughout the tree.
Aesthetic Appeal
A properly pruned fig tree looks tidy and adds charm to your garden. The process helps create a balanced, symmetrical shape that complements your outdoor space.
Longevity and Strength
Regular pruning strengthens the tree by removing weak branches that could snap during storms. It helps your fig tree withstand Melbourne’s weather changes.
Ease of Maintenance
Pruning keeps the tree’s size in check, making future maintenance simpler. A well-maintained tree requires less effort over time.
