My fig tree is putting out figs! I grew this tree from a cutting that a neighbor let me take from her tree. Here's what the figs look like when ripe:

Thank you for the reply! How long (roughly) did you leave it in water before transferring to dirt? Days or weeks?

A few weeks. You want to see roots, but you also want to see the roots splitting off into more roots before you're ready to transfer. When I go from water to dirt, I'll usually set the pot in another container so that the larger container can contain water and keep the soil constantly moist (or you can just water daily). After about a week or two of that I'll ease back on the water so that it gets used to just being in dirt.
