Edible figs are not one's first choice in bonsai, but I knew someone
who had a nice one. It was on the large side, because edible figs are
coarse and won't ever become twiggy. The leaves reduced somewhat, but
were also large. If your material has any promise- a good branching
structure, movement in the trunk, etc., you could try it. Otherwise,
there are better figs. Much better figs.
