How tall will a fig tree grow?

The front of my home faces southeast, a good place to plant a fig. However, the front yard is shaded by my neighbors flowering cherry. If I were to plant a fig in almost full shade, how long would it take with pruning to keep it straight, to grow to a height of 15 or 20 feet? Or would it do so at all? I plan in the future to prune the flowering cherry. Is this a rediculous idea? Maybe I just love figs too much to give up.
