    Hi, guys, I bought a 1-year old fig tree in June and it is growing like crazy, I guess either I fertilize too much or the pot is too big.

    here is the image:

    Now, I'd like to prune to a bush about 2 meters high and 3 meters wide, how do i do that with my tree? I guess my tree is more look like a tree type but since I want to keep it in the container for a while I don't want it to grow too high.

    Also what should I do this year to get more fruits next year? People say to pinch the tip when there are 6 leaves but does it matter how long the branch is? Thanks a lot!
