It would be helpful if you added your hardiness zone and state to your profile. If you don't know your zone look here.

You can do more research on hardiness zones, soil requirements and more at www.google.com

Best to use the botanical names when possible. Just do a search.

Good to know. You might want to go back to your profile and add that to your location so when you ask questions, we all know where you are.

Hope that info was helpful,

i fixed it... also the fig seeds i am supposed to be getting came straight from a fig... what's the chance of it growing?

Lori,
Great, your zone shows. As to whether the fig will grow, you would have a much better idea if you were to read the very first link I gave you about growing fruit from seed.
