Fresh, Delicious Figs...Even at -10 Degrees

Why Chicago Hardy Fig Trees?

No matter how cold it gets, the Chicago Hardy Fig Tree will never let you down. Why? For starters, the Chicago Hardy can literally freeze over and still come back strong the following spring, producing bushels of plump, delicious figs.

And you get a ton of fresh fruit. Perfect for peeling and eating right off the tree in late summer to early fall, you'll be enjoying these amazing figs just a year or two after planting. The numbers may surprise you: Your Chicago Hardy will yield as many as 100 pints of figs each season!

Our Chicago Hardy Fig Tree

Our Chicago Hardy Fig Tree unfortunately had a rough start with most of the leaves falling off in the beginning but she bounced back up and we even have a fig currently growing! We're so excited to try our first homegrown fig and are even more excited for next season!

Funny little fig

This little tree has so much hope. New leaves and even one fig even though I took it off to let the energy go to the tree. I see nothing but new growth on my gorgeous little guy.

Smaller than expected

When my Chicago hardy fig arrived, it was quite the shock. It was a 4” stick. However, it has grown quickly and is flourishing. satisfied with its rapid growth and leaves. I found others for a lesser price that were larger but feel confident with the one year guarantee.
