O.K., I always keep all the "stuff" that comes with the plants I buy.  I looked it up and the fig trees came from Territorial Seed Company.  They are Fig Negronne (Ficus carica).  They get 8-10' tall but do nicely if pruned to a smaller size.  USDA Zone 7.  Hardy to between 0°F-5°F but "we recommend protecting the plant if temperatures drop between 15°F-20°F for an extended period of time."

And all ficus do great if they are in pots.  Root bound isn't a bad thing with ficus!
