CHICAGO HARDY FIG 2gal

Description

The Chicago Hardy Fig is a testament to resilience, offering a lush, Mediterranean feel even in the variable climates of Zones 7 and 8. If you have ever dreamed of plucking sun-warmed, mahogany-colored fruit right from your own backyard, this is your tree. Reaching a manageable 10 to 15 feet tall, it fits beautifully into smaller landscapes while providing a bold architectural statement with its large, lobed leaves.

One of its best traits? It is remarkably deer and rabbit-resistant, as the milky sap in the stems tends to keep curious critters at bay. To ensure your fig thrives, plant it in a spot that receives full sun. Success starts at the roots: blend Watters Premium Mulch with your garden’s native soil to ensure the drainage these trees crave. At planting, and again each spring, nourish it with 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food to support heavy fruiting and strong wood.
