Nice structure to work with. cutting the branches back to develop taper in them and ramification is all I woudl be doing

NOt much else to do really. constant tip pruning to build ramification and drive leaf reduction

i would like to see some wire on this tree to get a few of those branches growing a bit more horizontally than vertically.
also i'm not a huge fan of aerial roots on small figs. that's just me though.
