I bought a small dwarf petite negra fig from Park Seeds last July (Photo taken 4 months after receiving the plant) - http://maggiewang.com/photos/albums/gardenFall2005/20051111_...) and it is currently setting fruit on four or five branches.

This is my first full year growing anything evenly remotely plant-like, so I'm not sure if I need to prune my fig tree. Is there any reason to do this given that I'm in zone 9b/Orlando, and probably won't have more than 2-3 days of sub-freezing temperatures? So far my tree has been extremely low maintenance.

I also bought an LSU purple and a brown turkey fig (http://maggiewang.com/photos/albums/figs/P1030092.sized.jpg) this April, but they are still very small and unlikely to produce any figs this year.
