No idea, but would it matter if it did? Fig leaves are easily
identifiable, and a quick paint with glyphosate gel should soon get rid
of the unwanted plant.
I would need to warn my neighbour!
If it's got out of its root-restriction bag you might have to warn all
of Cambridgeshire!
By the way, I've still got a few small fruits on my Brown Turkey which
are showing signs of ripening. I opened one which was partly
brown-purple on the outside, and it was a sort of pale pink inside, and
had very little flavour. I'll pull the rest off later this week.
