Someone correct me if I'm wrong but don't those edible figs have large leaves, like 4-5 inches or so? I'm sure they would reduce some with bonsai culture but still sounds like a tough job to make a believable bonsai. You may want to check out the nurseries in your area. You can find Ficus benjamina and others with smaller leaves that would make better starters for bonsai for $2-$3.
