plant it further away. in fact, mine are planted in tubs. If you have brown turkey,
hardy Chicago or celeste you can whack them to the ground (or they can freeze to the
ground) and you will get figs that year. the rest fig on last years wood.

A week ago I planted a fig tree from Walmart in full sun about 6
feetout from my house. Is there going to be a problem with this as it grows ?

I just want a nice bush about 5 or 6 feet high that has figs.
Can I keep it trimmed to this height and accomplish this ?

Will this keep me from having any foundation problems with
the roots, or should I dig the thing up and plant it farther away ?

Thanks for your advice,
