Hi guys,
I recently purchased a fig tree that already has 2 small figs growing on it. Should I leave these or prune them off? As a first time owner, I can’t really tell if they’re considered the embryonic types that will eventually ripen or the useless ones that are better pinched off to save plant energy. Any thoughts?

Planting in the ground would probably be preferable - they are quite greedy plants - a sort of sunken box is a good idea - you don't want it suckering everywhere. If it is happy in it's situation, it shouldn't take long to put some growth on.
If you've never kept Figs before, I think there are several threads on this forum which may help you.
