Garden Goods Direct Trees Chicago Hardy Fig Tree

Chicago Hardy Fig Trees are a perfect choice for anyone who wants to grow their own feed but lives in colder growing zones. These trees are tolerant of chilly weather down to -10 degrees! In zones 7 or cooler they will still benefit from some good winterization to protect against any extreme frosts, but overall each year they will bounce back with large yields of golfball-sized mahogany fruits. These are self-pollinating fruit trees, but planting a few within 20 or 30 feet of each other will help create even bigger fruit yields. These fruits can be eaten directly off the tree, in salads, or you can make delicious homemade fig jams or jellies.

Fig trees are also great choices for containers. If you live in an apartment and want to grow your own fruit at home, a Chicago Hardy Fig tree is a great choice.
