Keep in mind that figs can get huge and swamp you with fruit. Which is a good thing.

  1. Down here they are pretty much trouble free, except for pruning the occasional dead stalk. There are few things as satisfying in life as grabbing a piece of fresh fruit when you walk by one of your own trees.

  3. One place we lived in had a VERY tiny backyard (about 200sqf). Had a random fig sprout up at the fence line.
    Didn't think too much of it.
    Fast forward to a year later...
    it was all we could do try and keep that bastard in check; up to and including hacking it down to a stump!
    Finally had to give up.
    When we left a year later it had taken over the entire yard!

  6. The trees are fragile. The one we had would drop 1/3 of the tree on a regular basis.
