Grow-vs-buy savings
A Potted fig tree or rooted cutting costs around $30 and takes about 2 years before it produces a meaningful crop. Not a quick payback — but once it's established a fig plant returns roughly $183/year in supermarket equivalent (10kg × $18.30/kg) and keeps producing for many years.
Before you buy: Figs grow very easily from hardwood cuttings — free if you know someone with a tree. Most varieties are self-fertile. Needs warm summer to ripen fruit.
Realistic yield: Light crop year 2; mature tree 10-30 kg per year. Can produce two crops (breba + main) in warm climates.
Ballpark numbers — yield varies by climate, variety, care and luck. Use as a rough indicator, not a business plan.
