Generation figs from 3pm onwards......

The reason I ask this question is that I go into full shade at 4pm now due to nearby Trees and wondering if its worthy of the effort of clipping them by 20ft - lol

Will be by the summer no doubt.

I'd be thinking in terms of whether the effort in lopping the tree would be worth it given that the vast majority of the daily yield is generally from mid morning to mid afternoon ( or are you facing significantly west of due south, can't remember as I type this )... AND as the summer rolls on I'm thinking that the sun's trajectory moves quite a bit higher in the sky doesn't it? Which might possibly lessen / shift the shading naturally? Just a thought.

I'm not sure, so i'm going to study it this year and have an action plan by the end of winter.
