Pruning Advice for 'Little Miss Figgy'

Prune to keep its shape and size. When pruning, aim for a balanced top that allows light into the centre of the canopy.

• Prune twice a year:
  Early spring: remove any branches that spoil the shape, or any that are crossing or damaged, along with any suckers appearing from the ground or lower stem. If needed cut back one or two branches that have become too long and bare to a 5cm (2in) stub to stimulate new growth from the base of the branch.
  Early summer: pinch out the new growth at five or six leaves. Do not prune later growth.
