Fig trees will grow 15+ ft. tall if you let them…I got my figs from an old retired Chicago school teacher who was Italian and he got his fig cuttings(clones) from his father’s fig tree… My friend’s tree is over 15+ ft. tall and he has to bend it over and cover it with tarps…it takes him 1.5 wks to bend it over slowly without snapping the main tree trunk…
I personally don’t want a big ass tree in my back yard so I keep mine no taller than 5-6 ft. tall…you can also keep it in a big pot and bring it in your house during winter but it has to be covered in a black plastic garbage bag so it stays dormant for the wintertime…
Mine is a lot more bushier because I will get more branches growing out of the main trunk…the last 2 pix are my fig trees, the first 2 pix are clones from my fig trees…
