Cold-hardy figs are fig tree varieties bred or selected to survive lower winter temperatures than typical Mediterranean types, often tolerating temperatures down to -10°F to 0°F (-23°C to -18°C) depending on the cultivar and protection. They often have smaller fruit and a more compact habit than tender figs, but can produce good crops in cooler regions when sited in a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained soil. Mulching and winter protection (such as wrapping, burlap, or burying branches) can improve survival and fruiting in marginal climates. Pruning to manage size and remove winter-damaged wood helps maintain health and productivity.
Chicago Hardy figs are some of the most cold hardy figs available, capable of withstanding temperatures down to -20 when the roots are protected. The fruits have a red to purple inner flesh color with honey berry flavor.
Each cutting has two nodes. Each order unit has 4 cuttings.
