Chicago Hardy Fig Patio Tree | Cold Hardy Fig Trees | Ficus Carica

*Please see shipped as shown photo in 2-3 inch starter nursery pot*

You’ll love the easy to grow Chicago Hardy Fig. It bears loads of the most delicious, medium sized mahogany-colored fruit, and as the name implies, it’s cold hardy enough to survive Chicago’s cold winters. (Hardy to zone 5 with protection during the winter.)

This fig tree is self-pollinating, so it can be grown successfully on its own, without other varieties present. This plant may die back in colder zones, resuming growth the following spring. However, figs will grow on new wood, so cold winters won't bother this plant! Heat and drought-tolerant once established.

Very easy to grow in containers on patios or porches. They thrive in full sun or dappled shade and typically begin bearing fruit within 2 years, making them a great return on investment!

At Easy to Grow, it is our goal to provide our valued customers with a commitment to premium products and excellent customer service.

All customer inquiries should be directed to our Customer Service Department by live chat on our website, phone or email. Current contact information can be found here. For any issues, please contact us within the first growing season as defined below:

The first growing season for Spring- and Summer-planted items is defined as March through October of the first year they are planted. After October, Spring- and Summer-planted items are no longer covered under our guarantee. The first growing season for Fall- and Winter-planted items is defined as September through June of the first year they are planted. After June, Fall- and Winter-planted items are no longer covered under our guarantee.

As our gardening community understands, there are many environmental factors that are needed for a plant to successfully grow. These factors, including but not limited to, poor weather, planting outside of recommended growing conditions, improper planting techniques, moisture/sunlight needs, location, timing, etc. are out of our control and therefore cannot be covered under our Guarantee. We recommend all items be planted immediately after arrival. We are not able to guarantee the viability of the items if they are not planted upon arrival and stored. Please keep in mind, every plant is individual and unique and, just as in Mother Nature, perfection is not guaranteed. However, we can guarantee that you will receive the highest quality available in a timely manner.


When ordering, please make sure you choose products that are approved to grow according to the growing/climate zone of the delivery destination. We do not guarantee success if you're ordering products that grow outside of the acceptable growing zone(s).

If an item fails to grow, please contact our customer service department during the first growing season as defined above.

  • Our representatives will work with the customer to help determine the cause of failure. This investigation may require the submission of images and/or the unearthing of the items. If the failure to grow is due to poor quality control, merchandise credit will be issued in the amount paid for the item less shipping costs.
  • If an item that fails to grow is part of a collection or bulk item, a merchandise credit will be issued for the same portion of the amount paid for the item.
  • We do not offer refunds for items with failure to grow.


Mislabeled Items

Although uncommon, human error can occur during the packaging process and items may be mislabeled. If you have received an item that is not true to the variety as labeled, please contact us during the first growing season as defined above, with an image of what you received. Submitted images are necessary to help correct any mistakes for future seasons.

Once images are received and reviewed, our team will be able to offer a merchandise credit or a refund back to the original form of payment.

Very healthy baby tree! All planted up in a pot. Great packaging!

Wow! Made it through an Ohio winter!

Almost ashamed to admit this, but I planted this in my garden last year and then completely forgot about it. It came up last month and I had to use a plant ID app to figure it out. 😜 it’s looking great thus far!

Great little trees!

I ordered two of these last year and they are thriving! I haven’t given them any special care other than putting them in bigger pots and they have shot up and branched out. No fruit yet but it’s early in the summer.

Plant Arrived Great - Soooo CUTE!

I was hesitant to order a plant, let alone a tree online. I was happy to see it arrive in excellent condition! Easy to Grow take great care in the packaging of plants and it truly shows. This little Hardy Fig arrived with a few fruit already starting on it. It's definitely small, but I'm hoping that with the proper care my new fig will thrive in the container I planted it in. I have it in full sun on my patio table right now and will pot it up when the time comes. Hopefully in a few years it will look just like the main photo. YAY!

Hope it makes it.

When I received the two trees they were pretty stressed. In the 3 months since I received them one has produced a new leaf and the other is hanging on barely. I hope that the one with a leaf will continue to improve and the other will make it. Some of the second tree's problems are probably my fault. I will update later when I know how the tree does.

Came as really tiny with three small leaves. I potted it and put it outside. It rained and two days later it was dead.
