The Heat,is the problem.
In your climate fig trees have to be planted in a position,as to have sun,in the morning and shade in the afternoon.
Fig tree do not take well any hotter than 95F.
But if you plant like I said it will be much happier.
Also a lot of mulch need to be applied around the tree,to keep moisture longer after you water.

Herman nailed it. If you can protect it with some shade cloth in the afternoon this first year in the ground it will help it out a lot. And do mulch it heavily. Fig trees send out lots of shallow roots. Six inches deep for a couple of feet all around the tree. Our afternoon sun will fry that little guy if you don't.

Thank you guys, I have since then covered it well to block all the scorching sunlight and mulched all around heavily. Hopefully the little one will get through this season
