Chicago Cold Hardy Fig 3 Gallon

The Chicago Hardy Fig tree is known for being especially cold hardy and producing small, brown- to purple-colored figs. The inside of the fruit is colored a lovely shade that looks like strawberry jam. Easy to grow, exhibiting drought tolerance once established. The Chicago Hardy may die back in colder climates and resume growth in the spring. It bears fruit early on the new growth. Figs that grow on the older wood will appear in early summer. This plant is heat tolerant and self-pollinating, meaning that it does not need to be planted near another variety of fig to produce fruit.

This is the perfect plant to accent your patio—with the bonus of fresh figs. The foliage has attractive broad leaves, and the figs grow green until ripening into darker fruit. When planting in containers, the fig can be brought indoors during the winter months.
