Ficus carica 'Chicago Hardy'
Ficus carica ‘Chicago Hardy’ is a fig tree renowned for its exceptional cold hardiness, making it one of the rare cultivars truly suited for northern climates like Quebec, with minimal winter protection. With an upright to spreading habit, it produces abundant medium-sized figs with brownish-purple skin and reddish-pink pulp, offering a sweet and rich flavor. Highly ornamental with its large, dark green foliage, it integrates harmoniously into edible gardens, fruit hedges, or large containers, where it ensures continuous production from mid-summer until fall. Self-fertile, fast-growing, and easy to maintain, the ‘Chicago Hardy’ fig tree thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It is an excellent choice for Quebec gardeners looking for a hardy, productive, and ornamental fruit tree.
