Hi Lydios!
I planted a noid black fig deep last fall, then asked if it was a mistake. The response was that there was no problem, and that with multiple 'trunks', it would be hedge-like. Cool! Besides, you'll have good roots, and a greater likelihood of survival there's a bad freeze.
Here's a pic from a few days ago, and it has ~10 figs on it. This went from nearly dead last fall, to healthy and fruiting less than a year later.
What varieties are you growing?
What city or zone are you in?
