If you have space for a large tree and some time, then let it grow free.
You will probably not get a large crop of figs compared to the size of the
tree in the early years, but you will probably get at least an many figs as
you do from the small, half starved pot bound tree.

How much is a reasonable crop?

I was content with last year's 25 figs of a 3 foot bush (especially
since it was entirely effort free - no feeding or watering), but is this
a ridiculously small yield compared with what I could be getting?
