keep it watered, but not soggy

Rycooder: I too root pruned 3 of 4 figs in larger containers(18 gal). Tree number 4 had not leafed out until last week when it began to bud from bottom-up. Other trees have ieafed out and figs have begun to appear. Be patient, especially since under layer is still green. I kept it in semi- shade and out of 90 degree sun this week. I live in NE Ohio. Keep us posted. By the way, my 4 trees froze solid in garage this year? First time that happened.

Hi Guys ok my tree has just started leafing out now a little late but at least I know its not dead.
