I primarily use 5 gal pickle buckets for my figs because they are freely available from restaurants. I usually drill a lot of 1/2" holes in the bottoms. By the time summer is over, they are all well rooted in the ground & need to be cut away in order to move them. Some of the roots are quite substantial.

I've heard some growers keep figs in relatively small pots with lots of drainage holes. A pot is "planted" in the spring and the roots escape through the holes and colonize the surrounding soil. After the tree goes dormant in the fall, the pot is excavated and all those stray roots are amputated.
