A friend send me some fig tree cuttings. They just looked like little dead sticks when I got them. I planted them and put them under humidity domes (made from one liter soda bottles cut in half) and they sat for a couple months.
Now look!
So maybe one day we will be eating peaches, apples, AND figs grown here on our half acre homestead!

Deducing from what I wrote in this thread: Subject: Container Fig Tree Care? -- Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter which was started in April of 2013, I think I bought the fig as potted cutting in a 6" pot previous fall -- presumably a cutting that was rooted earlier in the year, and it looks like it fruited a small crop in the summer, then a larger crop that ripened in the winter in the kitchen.
So it might be within realm of possibility that you will get some kind of first harvest next year.
