I have been growing figs for many years. I think I can be of help.
I agree that you should leave the tree in the ground in your zone if at all possible. I do not recommend cutting it to the ground. You could but it's not a good idea in your zone this time of year. Though the tree will likely need to be cut. But not too aggressively during the summer in your zone.
Can you post a picture?
Do you want it to be espaliered?
How tall is the tree and how tall do you want it to be?
