1 Live Plant Chicago Hardy Fig Ficus carica Cold Hardy Self Fertile Fruit Tree
Chicago Hardy Fig is a cold hardy fig selection prized for its reliable fruit production and ability to thrive in cooler climates. This live plant arrives ready to grow, making it an excellent choice for home orchards, patio containers, and backyard gardens where space or climate may be a consideration. Its self fertile nature means a single plant can produce fruit without the need for a second variety. Figs are enjoyed fresh, dried, or used in preserves and baking.
This fig develops broad lobed foliage that adds a bold tropical look to the landscape. It performs well in full sun and well drained soil, and can be grown in the ground in mild regions or in containers where it can be moved indoors during colder months. With consistent care, plants become productive and long lived.
