(Gardeners here have said the roots are very invasive and suggested I use an
old washing-machine drum if planting out in the garden.)

Has anyone said that the roots are invasive? I thought the washing
machine drum advice was because a fig tree with free root run tends to
produce leaves at the expense of fruit, not because the roots were
particularly invasive.
