Thanks for your advice @B3 I will keep mine in its new 350mm pot for this year and pot up as required in the future then.
Out of interest, how large would you say the pot is that your plant currently sits in? I cannot make it out in the picture. I asume that the reason you say you will be keeping it in this current pot is to keep it from growing any larger?
Thanks for venturing out and getting those measurements @B3 very kind and much appreciated. Hopefully in a few years I might have a tree in as good a shape as yours. Fingers crossed!
I bought a tiny one from Morrison a few years ago, put it the garden, in a pot for the summer brought in the cold conservatory for the winter, every year when it grew new leaves it would drop the others, I’d got to the stage of throwing it away, then thought I’d give it a chance so planted it in a GH bed, it’s been in there only one year and reached the top and curling round the roof, now I don’t know what to do with it, the figs were very small, then dropped off. I’ve never had a plant grow so big in such a short time.

Mine didn't do much for the first year either. Hopefully someone here knows how to prune them. I believe they can be humongous if grown in the ground in the right conditions. You might have to get a bigger greenhouse @Lyn😉
I thought I might take a couple of panels out of the roof, 😀 no, it’s got to be pruned, I’ve got a good book only contains info on pruning and very good.

It's pretty big. I'll measure it for you in daylight. @justandnobodyelse.
Yes I don't want it to get any bigger.
Googled pot chart. I'm pretty sure it's 40 ltr
