When, Why And How To Pinching Fig Trees To Force Early Fruiting

There is a lot of confusion surrounding the technique of "pinching" fig trees. In many areas of the US, the growing season is too short to provide enough heat to ripen longer season types of figs. Pinching can be a way to induce fruiting your fig trees early so you can grow longer season varieties, but it comes at a cost.

This video discusses in great detail the reasons why you may want to pinch your figs, and discusses cases when you should not pinch your fig trees and simply let them grow naturally. Find out if pinching fig trees is right for you.
