Daniel, make sense. Thanks for the tip on annual root pruning I assumed I'd only be doing that as I potted up and then on a more regular basis once it's in it's largest sized pot. I have no problem being patient I just want to make sure I'm doing everything I should be doing at this stage. My instinct is to leave it be until next spring and then prune it for shape accordingly. I'll be overwintering it in my windowless unheated garage. I thought the unripened figs stay on and become the breba crop but maybe I'm misunderstanding the concept?
I'll be sure to keep you posted and I no doubt will have more questions. I appreciate the advice and well wishes!
