I have not grafted figs, but generally you want to graft any tree when the rootstock is actively growing. That provides the energy to heal the graft and push out new growth.

figs are commonly grafted using chip budding. This is done in the middle of growing season. Other trees should be grafted in early spring. I just got done grafting Persimmon, Pawpaw, Jujube, Pears, Mulberry, Peach, and Apricots.
