> pretty small tree.

Im in New Zealand and made the mistake of planting one. It’s turning into a monster and they grow in every direction, fast.

When in SF unnoticed what out Pohutakawa have done over your way and was fairly impressed at their growth.

There's over 850 species of figs and many of them are edible. It's quite possible y'all are talking about different plants

But, then again, the common fig also has many many cultivars with different growth habits and fruits

It may be a different variety.

My neighbors have had theirs in 3 years, and I think they bought...1 year old trees? I can't recall now.

Anyhow, they are about four feet tall right now, and max height is 10-15 feet (4.5m).
