Root Pruning

I'd appreciate some expert advice on a brown turkey fig. I've researched these forums for info on pruning fig trees, studied the pics and felt like I had a handle on how to do it. I've owned the tree for 6 or 7 years and have never pruned anything other than dead branches off it. I guess I'm not a good tree owner! Anyway, I meant to get it done a while ago, but we've had three 10+ snow storms in the last 6 weeks and the rest of the time the weather has just been plain too cold and crappy for outdoor work. Needless to say, now that's it's actually spring the fig tree is leafing out nicely. I keep it in a greenhouse attached to the house during the winter...evidently it wasn't as cold out there as I thought. So I'm assuming I'm too late to prune since it's got 2" new leaves? :(
