Where can I get a cheap, decent fig tree online?

Question

I live in New Jersey and would like to grow some figs in my back yard. Any suggestions?

In case this is a bad idea for any reason, please say so.

Answer 1

If you are growing your fig in zone 7 or colder you should place the tree in front of a southern wall or fence where winter sun can warm it. This will help a lot.
