I have a few trees started from seeds to use as rootstock. Has anyone ever grown the black fig from Turkey?, what is the growth like? Any advice on this type of fig as rootstock?

I bought the fruit from a supermarket and germinate the seeds. It said black fig on the container. The seeds germinate fairly easily. I know they need wasps in order to produce fruits, but I intend to make it a rootstock so I can graft other figs on it. I need to know its growth habit so I can experiment with it. Any suggestions?
