Root pruning Chicago Hardy fig in January?

Hello,

I'm new to this forum and to figs. I have a Chicago Hardy fig that I've had growing in a container for 3 years. I have read that root pruning a fig ever 3 years or so is a good idea. My problem is, if I do any root pruning, it has to be now, in January as I will be gone from my home until late April. Is it too early to prune now??

I understand I will need to remove the bottom third of the root ball and any large tap roots. Any other pointers??

Thanks for all your help.
