Product Details

‘Chicago Hardy’ figs can be enjoyed fresh or dried and are delicious added to desserts or even on a pizza! The delicious fruit has a sweet, rich flavor, and is high in minerals and fiber. This hardy shrub produces dark-colored fruit with light brown to violet skin. ‘Chicago Hardy’ Fig is a dormant plant selected by DeGroot, offering you the opportunity to get a head start to the season! Due to its dormant state, this plant may lack foliage until it is planted. There is no need to wait until after frost, this may be planted as soon as the ground is workable. This early planting prevents transplant shock and allows it more time to develop its root system. If your plant does have foliage, provide protection from frost. Depending on the climate and weather experienced after planting, this plant could take up to 4-6 weeks to break dormancy and show signs of growth.
