No.... Viable fig seeds are the product of 2 parents, one of which (male) is usually unknown. The progeny from such a union cannot by its nature be the same as the mother tree from which the seed was derived. As has been stated many times by others, the seedling in the majority of cases may never even yield an edible fig and if one does, the flavor profile may be far from desirable or it could be the next Black Madeira....
