The fig tree is the father's big dream. He loves fig tree mother than any types of tree such as lima beans, zucchini, parsley, beets. But when the mother told the father, "plat one!" But he never did it because he always forgets to water to plants. So he is very dreamer. At end of the poem, he finally has fig tree at his new yard and he got his dream. 

The fig symbolize the father's dream or his life in the poem. I think it symbolizes the father's dream because in the poem, it talks about how much he wants the fig tree at his yard and that's his huge dream. Also his family lived in many houses but none of has fig tree, I think this is relating to his life too. So like he is happy to live in many houses because he might has fig tree at his new yard.
