I am brand-new to the forum, so forgive me if I am a bit clumsy using this message board. 
I'd like some help in identifying this fig tree which grew spontaneously (from a seed left in my compost?  I really have no idea!) in a flower pot that was left outside all winter.  Granted, it was an unusually mild winter here in southern new jersey, but it did freeze a few times. 
I'd like to learn how to care for this plant during the upcoming winter.
Any help would be appreciated.  You can contact me through this forum or at my email address: katzjl2@comcast.net
Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.  Regardless of what it is, it is a fig, and worthy (to someone) of attention.

Welcome to the forum, Judy! Unfortunately, since it grew from seed, we would have to know what the parent tree that bore the fruit was. If it was a hybrid, the seedling could bear the characteristics of either specimen used to create the hybrid. Chances (very high probability) are that the fruit of this seedling (if it is even a Common or San Pedro-type) will be worthless as far as taste. You are better off getting a known variety unless you wish to grow it for the foliage/looks. Good luck!

I was told by an experienced fig grower that caprifigs tend to be more slender in growth habit, as yours appears. This has proven to be true of the two that I have seen/are growing. Caprifigs do not produce edible figs, but rather fruits that produce pollen.

I agree with Ruben - if you are going to spend the time and effort in growing a fig in order to eat the fruits, it's best to start with a proven variety. No sense spending a couple years growing something that might either not produce edible fruits, or taste 'blah'.

What you could do is get another fig as a form of fig insurance, and grow them both. :)

Thank you, everyone, for responding.  I think, for now, I will grow this as an ornamental and take it inside for the winter.  I just can't leave this lovely and  intrepid little sapling to the elements.  I'll let you know if it produces any fruit in the future.
