Its still early. Give it some good sun make sure you let it dry out a bit in between waterings.

I think that's pretty normal, I don't think you should be too concerned yet.. What are you fertilizing with and how old is the tree out of curiosity? It's very early yet remember.. Although I know you are excited to see some figs forming! Me too my figgy friend ;)

hi,
Is conadira, bifera or unifera (unifera, if I remember well) ?
If it is unifera, it is just normal.
The tree will grow first and in one or two month, it will form figs.
Keep it well watered, well fertilized and in a good exposure .

Good luck !

One crop a year, or two crops a year ?

This variety struggles to survive it's first year in a climate like In Arizona because the roots are shocked by the hot soil. Same should be true in your climate.  Using shade cloth and watering with Silica Blast treated water should help a lot with that! Once the roots are well developed you should no longer have to worry about the problem you are having. Using mulch over the roots should help too.
no, it's having no problems in its pot, in fact, the only thing that gets scorched is the figs because the brick wall absorbs the heat and humidity releases it towards the rig

If you believe it has enough new growth and want it to set figs, feed it some flower booster (High Phosphorus) fertilizer... it worked well for me last year.
