Hui Stevano,
I have done just that many times with the only difference being that the plants I over wintered indoors where never growing planted outside. The ones I dealt with where from cuttings that I started and placed in pots to grow through the summer months. I do start a few dormant fig cuttings from plants from cuttings from my trees before I cover them for the winter.

I never had a problem. I even had some produce figs (just a few) during Jan. and Feb. I am lucky because my basement has those long 6 ft. windows exposed to the southern sky. I keep my basement at 70 degrees. In fact I have three small trees growing on my windowsill (started from cuttinhs)at this time just to get them through the winter months. They where started this spring. I never noticed any problem getting them to fruit without going dormant at all.

I think for starting a cutting if you care for it correctly and provide moisture and at least 70 Deg. or above heat especially to the base of the planting pot it should root. Some people place a bottle or cup on top covering the cutting but make sure you poke a few holes on the top of that cup for ventilation and on the bottom container for drainage as well. I like to use the larger clear plastic drinking cupsÂthat way I can see when the roots start to develop.. There are MANY other methods described on this forum to get cuttings to root. Suggest you do a search on the site, "cutting rooting methods".

Good luck
