We have a so-called "Turkish brown fig" tree--hubby is Turkish and
resents the name, because the varieties of figs we knew in Turkey are
larger and yummier and more colorful (bright green or red) than this
one can produce (pale yellow-tan when ripe, but they do taste good).
Anyway, it has been growing fast and furious for 3 years now. Too
furious. Near the edge of the woods, it could probably do better in
the open with a full day of sun, but like everything else on our
property it has grown UP. Probably 12-15 feet tall now. Which means
that many of the small but decent tasting fruits are out of reach.

Would it be a good idea to prune the tree? When--this fall, well after
the fruiting is done? Any tips on where to cut, and how severe is too
severe? I'd like to have a fuller tree with more fruits in reach next
summer!

Thanks
