 @bebd0441 this one is a cultivar that’s supposed to do well in the PNW, and I think the tag said ten feet. That’s so reasonable! Who couldn’t find a little scrap of dirt for a ten foot fig tree? It’s so wee 😂

 @12e2f193 Yeah, that's why I was asking. I had heard that they only come in size XL...

 @bebd0441 the tag says 10’ but I went digging on the original (stark bros) distributor’s site, and they said 8-12’ tall and the same wide. But they die back in too-cold, so its height will largely depend on how well I managed to shelter it the previous winter, I think! 😂 
It’s in a spot that I’m planning on filling in around with beds, so I don’t want a huge tree and I’ll whack it back if necessary.
