Mine too grew up to 6' last year I had about 12 figs ripen. This year 1 plant only had 1 and the other had only about 12 again and they both really didn't grow much. I have mine in large containers which I heard they grow good in and mine look good but I'm going to take them out this winter and see if they are root bound, if so I will either plant them in the ground in a large hole with good soil or I'll cut some roots out and plant with new dirt? I forgot to fertilize this spring which might have helped. Good question to ask now maybe someone can help.

Mine are in the ground, so I don't know if your problem is the roots. I also didn't fertilize, but the garden center I bought from told me figs tends to produce too many leaves (and no fruit) if you fertilize. So I'm at a loss...

Next year, try pruning some of the new growth. Let about 6-7 leaves form on each branch, then trim the tip. This promotes branching but also pushes energy away from vegetative growth and into fruit production. I've heard good results from this and will try it myself next year.

I am in Northern VA (7a) and have found that in order to get fruit from my celelste, brown turkey, black mission and nero fig trees, I have to wrap them in the fall after the first frost and unwrap them in the spring after the last frost. Then when a branch produces 6-7 leaves, I pinch off the end forcing it to set fruit earlier giving the fruit time to ripen. This year I had about 30 on one tree; I ate maybe 7 and the chipmunks got the rest. Next year is the year of the great chipmunk hunt.
