In my opinion, VDB is not a dwarf fig. It can get very large given the right climate. My oldest (16 years old) grown in a 40 gallon container and trained as a single trunk. It's 8 feet tall and multi branched on top. The younger one (5 years old) grown in ground and has a bush shape- dies to the ground each winter. But, puts on 5 feet of growth each season after being killed to the ground every winter. VDB will get large (if grown in ground in warm climate).
Navid.
