Are your figs above ground in pots?
My two Desert Kings do well in the ground on a raised mound. It gets so wet here in winter though last year we had a cold one!
The only variety Lowes sells in these parts is Chicago Hardy. It's still a gamble. Somehow Lowes received one Magnolia with a very early shipment. That is the plant that got fig "measles".
