I have a massive fig tree in my garden, wall trained. I cut it back to its framework (about 200 stems all about 5-8ft cut off each year). Late winter after the worst weather but they're hard to kill. They grow like crazy with massive leaves but less fruiting if cut hard back.

Prune yearly in early Spring after the possibility of hard frost.

 

My words having read the guidance in RHS Pruning & Training The Definitive Practical Guide to Pruning Trees, Shrubs and Climbers but not wishing to fall foul of their copyright!
