Growing Fig tree where Melaleuca tree grew for 40 years?

I was thinking about planting my 3 year old fig tree that’s in a 5 gallon pot in the ground, however a Melaleuca tree used to grow there (was cut down a year or two ago).

I hear Melaleuca leaves / bark / etc kills anything that grows around it – the grass below it still hasn’t started growing.

Will the fig tree do OK if planted where the Melaleuca tree used to grow?

Or how long should I wait to plant anything where it used to grow?

Anything I can do to neutralize any negative compounds in the soil that the Melaleuca tree left?
