As a few more experienced people pointed out, it is absolutely possible to keep your figs growing over the winter. All you need is a warm room and grow lights. But the question is should you grow over the winter? For me, 4 hours of spring sun in a single day un-did all the benefits of the entire winter. Once the leaves got sunburnt, there was nothing to be done but watch them slowly dry, brown and one by one fall. Then there was a month where I thought the plans were dead before they began sprouting new buds. Three months later at the end of summer, all the plants survived and look great, however, I missed out on a year of figs all because of that 1/2 day of sun. If you have fruiting trees and these are an experiment, go for it. But if these are all you have and you are new to fig growing, you might want to take the safer route.
To make matters worse, I will have to pick a hundred plus un-ripened figs off the trees in a few weeks while still not tasting a single one. Actually I got 2 from another tree.
Good luck and let us know what you choose and how you make out.
