I found some pictures of my fig trees.
This is a dark brown fig, it's ripened up to a dark brown. It's in container but doing really well.
This is the fig tree I want to cut down, you can see it's in the middle of the pergola, reaches higher up. This is the one I want to cut to my height. But it has to reach higher for light. Its roots are well in the shade, plus it's near a wall.
This one is to the left of the previous fig tree, it's doing quite well, I should be able to tying down to my level, no pruning is necessary.
Anyway, I'm off to some river rafting. Wish me luck.
