Chicago Hardy Fig is considered a cold hardy fig that can produce figs on new years growth even after the plant freezes back. Most figs produce figs on prior years growth and have a second Fall harvest on some new growth. Chicago Hardy may produce a first Summer smaller crop, but will fruit mostly in the Fall. The fig is medium sized purplish-brown that has a good sweet taste. The Tree can get up to 15-30 ft. tall over 7-10 years.
