Cold spring idea might be consistent with our experience - all our springs are cold ;-) so it may be your fig starts into action earlier normally, whereas ours is about its normal time, and we've had about 120 figs.
Ours has its roots surrounded by concrete slabs, so don't think the concrete is a problem.
