Chicago Hardy

April 10th 2025 update.

This tree is one year old and was purchased as a tiny bare-root from Home Depot. Surprisingly, it gave me the most figs last year, producing well into November. The fruit wasn’t the tastiest, but that’s likely due to the cooler weather late in the season and the tree’s young age. An interesting note: the soil pH for this tree is 4.0, yet it still seems to be doing just fine.

My Chicago Hardy is looking robust and healthy, with figs developing on every node. Despite a soil pH of 4.0, it appears to be doing well
