🌿 Chicago Hardy Fig Tree

Bring home a fig tree that thrives where others can’t! The Chicago Hardy Fig Tree (Ficus carica ‘Chicago Hardy’) is famous for its cold resistance, sweet flavor, and easy care — perfect for home gardeners in both warm and cool climates.

This resilient variety can survive winter temperatures down to 10°F, and even if the top dies back, it will regrow from the roots in spring. It produces medium-sized, richly flavored figs with deep red flesh and smooth brown skin — perfect for fresh eating, drying, or making jams.

Whether planted in the ground or kept in a container, the Chicago Hardy Fig rewards you with lush green foliage, ornamental appeal, and abundant fruit from late summer to early fall.
