Welcome! We have several zone 5 growers here. Some keep their plants in 5 gal buckets (which are equivalent to 7 gal nursery pots) for life. All figs do fine in containers. Small containers limit the number of figs you can get but member DrivewayFarmer gets 80 or so figs per plant. A ten gallon bucket would give you a lot more than double the figs, though. You need to search for root prune to learn how. Check out his other posts for modifications he's made to his pots. Dieseler, DrivewayFarmer, Northeastnewbie, OttawanZ5 and Rafed are all very active and experienced members from zone 5. Sorry if I left anyone out. You can look at topics they've started and their posts via the search function, upper right. Also, in the 'Start Here' thread, pinned to the top, there's a link to a thread Best figs for your location and climate. Unfortunately, no one's ever had the time to make a database of the info but you can skim through and see what's been posted. Even the info from "fig Paradise" is useful. Unless you have a greenhouse or grow room to extend the season you want to stick to early varieties if you're reading a zone 10 list and everything but late varieties from a zone 6 or 7 list.
You might want to figure out how many fig varieties you can fit and make that an absolute limit which you will break in less than 2 years.
You've definitely come to the right place for cuttings, just a little late. Go to this page and read the rules and the list. Jon will honor your order but he will fill orders already received first. You can still get some spectacular varieties even if the top most coveted are all sold out. Definitely ask for the JH Adriatic and let me know if you don't get any Hardy Chicago.
