The Chicago Hardy Fig Tree is a versatile tree known for its beautiful foliage and edible fruit. A favourite since ancient times, it produces medium-sized, purple fruit that is sweet and rich in flavour. Self-pollinating, this tree will produce fruit with just one plant. Its large, leathery, deeply lobed leaves give it a tropical feel. While fig trees thrive in warmer climates, the Chicago Hardy Fig is the hardiest of its kind and can also be kept in containers and brought indoors during winter. Tolerant of heat, drought, and relatively resistant to wildlife, this tree is a resilient choice for many gardens.
