First Figs of the Season!

Well, here they are: Figs. There were only about 15 on the tree, so there are not too many to go around. They are pretty tasty, though, I wish they were a tad sweeter. I figure, next year the tree with be teeming and the tree will be 2.5 years old.

So, after I eat the rest of the figs, I will prune the tree(!) and hope to encourage a bushier tree next year. I have read some posts about how to prune, but it seems a bit crazy to me. However, since there are only 5 branches, I suppose I can't screw it up too bad...

Has anyone ever pruned a fig, dwarf fig, or any other dwarf tree varietal. Should I do it after I pick all the fruit, or next spring?
