figs first cos they matter. i share your wife's pleasure in them - they are a beautiful tree and the fruit - well dripping in the hand straight off the tree.........

you can transplant figs but you need to do certain things to do so - and the bigger the tree the harder it is
i assume you have a tractor or digger - which improves your chances as they have a shallow but broad root system
the rest - check this out for guidance

I'd do a backup by taking lots of cuttings when you prune it back use cuttings around ten to twelve inches and not too woody - you may be a little late but its still worth trying I have propagated lots of them at all times fo the year - but tasmania is cooler. get perlite to start the process. just dip in honey and shove it in - and if you don't have anything better try some with a plastic bag over them and some without. you could also wrap them in newspaper and see how that goes. if you try enough a few failures wont matter. why stop at one fig tree if you love them - do a whole driveway and welcome the birds and the bees.

you are unlikely to restrict flowering from feeding them. they like food, water and lots of sun - originally a south african plant i think. if you don't dehead them they may set seed and run out of puff for anything else. moving them is a good opportunity for separating them an starting again. they are absolute pains to dig out - they are a tractor jub as well

kentia palms - i know nothing.

mulberry tree - what a terrible shame - but you can propagate them as well. don't waste a good fruit bearing tree for good plant stock is all i can say. propagation is not so hard and the source of endless satisfaction. also means its cheaper.

sounds like lots of fun to me

Mulberry tree (Stain tree lol).
Burts (birds) get them, bombs away (drop them) and stains lol.
Not a fan of Mulberries.

Fig tree - Wife has already planed on getting cuttings if we don't go for the bulk of the tree.
We do already have a young one, obviously from a fig I expect, growing out of a pot, large one, which has another Kentia palm in it as tall as the others.

I may even consider getting ahold of the neighbor with his backhoe, a reasonably serious one and I can unload it at the new place, with my tractor, jib etc.
Nothing to lose really.

They haven't been getting fed, so maybe that's why no flowers?
Never deheaded them and they do set seeds, the flowering ones, that is.
Odd though, there was some here already when we moved years ago, under a tree, lots of shade, neglected and yet a reasonable amount of flowers on these ones.

Getting them out, previously, we have just gone in and under with a shovel and Bob's your uncle lol.
Their not huge as in spread wise.

As of tomorrow (??) maybe off hc for some time, Telstra is transferring our line to the new place tomorrow.
Not sure if we will get the net connection over there from landline.
Neighbor apparently had issues over there and Telstra had to place up s dish.
I tired to communicate this to Telstra, but I might as well communicated with the redgum outside my window lol.
They eventually said, that's a future matter.
Trouble is, to communicate with them, you get an hour or so of jingle bells in a que then they spin the line, you will have to go on line to communicate with regards to what you want.
The excuse is, the virus,........hmm, I didn't know it traveled down phone lines, hence you can't speak directly to them

A bit like the April fools joke many years ago on the Radio, we were told Telstra was clearing the lines and to place a plastic bag over your phone, as there might be some dust coming through.
Some apparently, got quite peeved about this expectation and complained lol.
