Several options for planting techniques. Ideally, I like a planter with holes in the sides and or bottom to allow new roots to grow into the surrounding dirt.
Not without a lot of hard work to keep it wrapped so it does NOT freeze. If moisture gets to the branches, they will mold up and die. If mice or rodents get into them, they will eat the bark and kill the tree. You must make sure the whole tree does not freeze or get wet over the winter
Fig trees can thrive in various locations. Direct full sun all day, partial sun, some shade. Like most plants, the more sun they receive each day, the more water required to keep them Happy. Late July and August heat will dry out this large leafy tree. If they do not get enough water, the small starting figs will dry up and drop off without sufficient water. I usually have a 2-4 gal/per min drip systems run for 15-20 min on each tree every day). you will see the leave start to curl up if they lack sufficient water.
A cool Dry location that does NOT freeze, but also does NOT get over 40-50 degrees before April time frame. if your protected location warms up to 45-50 degrees to early (before May) your tree with start to sprout new limbs and leaves, at which time it must be moved outside but can NOT be subject to freezing weather.
Ideally, once the chance of FREEZING weather has passed. Usually, April is ideal. IF. there is a outside chance of below freezing weather, you can cover them with a tarp or move them back into storage to avoid freezing
Plenty of variables here. Usually in Connecticut, Late August into and thru September your figs will be ripening. If there is regular rain, they will be earlier in the harvest window.
