I have a Fig Tree that i grew from a package of "Organic Figs" Imported from Turkey, I have no guess at what type they are, but i have it in a 5g bucket in my Grow tent. Its the lone survivor of putting a bucket with no holes in it outside in the summer and forgetting to grab it in the rain. It was about 24 inches tall, and i trimmed it down to about 6 inches when it finally sprouted leaves again. The whole top half was dead anyway.My questions are this, How old should i expect it to be before it flowers? Can it be Dwarfed or done like a large Bonsai In a 5g bucket?  I am currently keeping it in my Grow tent indoors with the lights on a 16 on 8 off cycle, will i need to force flowering buy dropping the light cycle back to 12 on 12 off?

Honestly I planted a whole fig on a goof, i did not think it would actually grow so since it did i am playing catch up.

Welcome to the forum.  There is no telling if that tree will end up as desirable.  If you want figs it would benefit you to buy a known variety.  Light cycle will not affect it to my knowledge. 

Yes, a fig tree could be dwarfed or grown as a large Bonsai. But unfortunately the odds of getting a fig tree that you have grown from seed to fruit is very slim, if you are looking to grow a fig tree which will provide you with fruit you would be much better off starting one from a cutting taken from a dormant plant.

In a few weeks the colder weather will hit and a lot of peoples trees will go dormant, if you ask nicely I'm sure you will be able to find someone who will be willing to send some cuttings your way.

I agree.  I would not waste time with this plant if you want fruit.  If fruit is your goal, go with a known variety.  Welcome!

Well Fruit was not the goal initially, because well i did not even think it would grow lol but now that it did it would be pretty cool if it did fruit! I am guessing, and this is just a Guess, but since the package said Imported from Turkey, I am thinking it is likely a Brown Turkey Fig Tree.

But Hey if any one wants to send me cuttings, just inbox me i am happy to give you my address lol

Brown Turkey is popular here in U.S.  Maybe not in Turkey.  Turkey has the fig wasp, so even if your tree produces figs they will likely need the wasp to pollinate, else they would be inedible.  In U.S. there are only wasps in S. CA (maybe near there too?) and possibly parts of FL. I believe you have less than 25% chance of ever producing edible figs, probably much less.

Growing from seed it would likely take 5-10 years to produce fruit.

Stick around, cuttings season is coming soon.

Phil what do you mean not edible without the wasp? If it sets fruit without the wasp, it should be edible fruit because that means its self pollinating does it not? If it self polinates i can not see why you could not eat the fruit?

Vance71975,
Welcome to the forum community.

The tree may take time to "flower" since fig trees grown from seed go through a "juvenile" stage.
It can be "dwarfed" in a 5 gallon bucket by regular pruning of the branches and roots, yes, similar to Bonsai and still be relatively productive. Fig trees grow with normal light cycles and warmth since they are from a sub tropical climate.

Attached is an informative Document with lots of good basic info about Figs, the different types of Figs and the relationship of the fig wasp. Good Luck.

Hi vance71975,
If your tree is a smyrna type - without the wasp, most if not all fruits will drop. So you're left with almost nothing to eat.
If you were a goat, you would eat the small dry figs from the ground ... But as is, they are not edible for you and us humans.

As for setting fruits, remember that figs grow to a certain size before pollination should occur , and if pollination does not occurs at that stage, on smyrna types, the fruits will drop.
Sometimes some fruits will still mature but that's 1% when lucky...
@drphil69 : If people from Turkey no longer have the original variety called "BrownTurkey" it is because they have improved it for size and others considerations .
So they have "fig trees of the common type" that are now "better" van BT.
For production, they still mostly use smyrna types for whatever the reason.

JDS i do not suppose you can tell by the leaves what type of fig it is can you?
