Cold Hardy Fig Trees
Comments (6)Chad, you are a lucky fig person to be living in a zone 6b. I wished I lived in a 6b. Which is were I thought we were, when we bought our house, 40 years ago. But, our location turned out to be a zone 5b/6a. The first fig we bought was a Hardy Chicago. At the time every one recommended it as the most cold hardy. But, it is not. In the last 30 years a lot of cold hardy figs have been discovered. In the last 20 years even more cold hardy ones. In the last ten years we have been growing and testing figs for cold hardiness. We have been able to identify many that are more cold hardy then Hardy Chicago. If you or any one else would like a list of figs that have done well for us, in ground, in our cold, Connecticut, 5b/6a zone location. Simply send to me a direct email. Send to: robertcharper@gmail.com I will attaché the list to the return email to you. Bob...See MoreIs this a Celeste FIg? Fig ID Please

I had no idea what I was buying when I bought it. My wife looked the way the tree looked!! When the tree goes dormant I will try to make some rooted cuttings. Hopefully it will work. I tried it once on my dads brown turkey but it didn't work. I cut it and placed some rooting hormone on it and put it in miracle grow soil and nothing happened. I might try another way. I have read about a few different ways on this forum. Joe...See MoreChicago Hardy Fig
Comments (3)I second Gene's recommendation, Edible Landscaping has worked well for me. Don't be afraid to try some of their other varieties such as Marseilles, English Brown Turkey, or Celeste. These ought to work well in Cincinnati, especially of given Winter protection for the first three years or so. I lived in Finneytown during my teen years. Gee, if I only lived there now I could put figs on my Graetters ice cream!...See MoreHave: Partially rooted Chicago Hardy fig cuttings
Comments (14)bella as I am seeing your response to every post, my question is, why don't you just go out now that you have moved and purchase your plants to get started ? Sometimes shipping will cost you more than what buying a plant or two locally would. That way on down the road you will have plants to trade....See MoreGreenco ag technologies
