Description: Chicago Hardy Fig, originally from the eastern Mediterranean region, is a rich and sweet brown fig. This fig can do well in a pot on the patio, as well as being dependable when planted permanently in the outdoors. Hardy Chicago ripens its figs from August until fall frost and will start to produce fruit in July. In very cold regions of the US, this fig can freeze to the ground, and still come back due to its hardiness.

Care: Doesn't need much care. Easy to grow, very hardy.
