hello when is the best time to take fig cuttings please

I took one piece off a wild tree, in about early October 2003. It is
doing OK in a small pot with mimimum care up to now. The parent tree
is very old, on banks of river Avon in Bristol, allegedly grown from
seeds in the rather foul mud!!
I stuck the piece in a pot of soil and put it in a shady place outside
over winter and to my surprise it rooted.

Is it feasible to grow a fig permanently in a pot? I realise it'd have to
be a fairly large one, but would the tree still fruit if it was pruned to
keep it within bounds? I'd quite like to try one.
