Are fig trees from India the same ones around in US? My grand parents have a tree in India and I was just wondering. The tree had very sweet fruit. 

Try to get as much information about the tree back home as you can. Get the color, size, taste and what ever you can think of.

Pictures do tell a thousand words so a few posted here would help. That would be a start in finding your answers.

Try to get some cuttings sent to you if you can. We would be happy to buy some from you.

Good luck

Importing plants into the USA, from any foreign country is regulated by the US Dept. of Agriculture.  To import plants look at this website to find the regulations on how to go about it legally. 

To quote the site:

Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) regulates the importation of plants and plant products under the authority of the Plant Protection Act. PPQ maintains its import program to safeguard U.S. agriculture and natural resources from the risks associated with the entry, establishment, or spread of animal and plant pests and noxious weeds.
