I received a lot of PMs asking the possibility of getting some cuttings. Sorry that I cannot reply your message one by one.
I will trim the tree in Nov/Dec when it goes dormant, and will probably have ~50 cuttings available. I will share the cuttings with fellow forum members who are interested in this. You pay a small shipping fee.

Anything above 80 is pushing it because roots can't handle those temperatures. If that's the case, figs will stop growth and eventually go dormant until fall temperatures cool the roots, which will break dormancy. OR you can cool the roots now... wait a week or two and break dormancy yourself. There are many ways to do this, but I suggest top dressing your soil with plenty of mulch and cooling the outside of your container by either mulching around the containers, changing the color of the container to help reflect heat or covering them with something that will provide shade. Frequent watering also helps reduce temperatures.

Keep in mind that soil in containers gets much warmer than the soil in the ground.
