I bought a real fig tree but, living in Wisconsin, by the time it got delivered it was dead.  This one looks cute, the more I fluff it the better it gets.  Yes, sometimes the leaves fall off, but you can put them back onto the stem, and bend them around. I wanted it taller, so I got this planter and put Styrofoam in the bottom to boost it up.  
Price was OK, I wish the basket at the bottom was smaller, because I had a hard time finding a planter to fit it inside.
