>>2198503I have a few fig trees of various sizes, this
>>2199021 is pretty good advice. It will bounce back and bush out. And I highly recommend rooting all the bits you cut. Along with willow and mulberry, fig is one of the most vigorous trees out there and any tiny bit will root and grow if you give it the right conditions. Stick them in a jar with regular fresh water and you'll see roots soon. Then put them in soil and *poof* more fig trees. Winter is good, but honestly I've done it at all times of year with success. Figs are tough as fuck.
