πΏ Chicago Hardy Fig Tree
Bring home a fig tree that thrives where others canβt! The Chicago Hardy Fig Tree (Ficus carica βChicago Hardyβ) is famous for its cold resistance, sweet flavor, and easy care β perfect for home gardeners in both warm and cool climates.
This resilient variety can survive winter temperatures down to 10Β°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 β 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.
