@Ray_Gun <<< I too want to keep mine on the shorter side which is part of the reason I'm keeping it in a container but I was hoping for around 6 - 10' tall? >>> I agree The maximum that you might want it to grow is your height plus your arm streched... Eventually a short stool's height add an extra ft. No more.The best brebas are just at the tips and the heighest points... ( After the years wait you don't want to loose them precisely... )
I would stick to Daniel's advice ! I wouldn't fertlize with anything this first season and let it grow...slowly...better. You might want to separate a few suckers eventually already rooted if they appear in the base or make your own extras. Perhaps with your CH variety you might winter them in ground...You must be almost at sea level so you might have enough benign winters there.( I went to grad school on LI in SUNY Stony Brook) so perhaps you learn how to push your zone for this fig variety. I would only try with my own cuttings not the purchase plant though...
Let us know how you fare as the season advances
