Chicago hardy Fig
The fig has really put on some height and lots of leaves. When I got it, I thought it would take forever to grow but I was wrong. The rabbits don't bother it and it looks wonderful.

It already has fig buds!
I bought the 5 gallon size fig plant. I’m very impressed with the shipping and how good the plant looks. I decided to plant it in a galvanized bushel size bucket for now until it’s ready for the yard.

My first Fig trees!
Ordered these with ease and loved the zone-specific guidance! They arrived in great shape and already bearing fruit. 😊 My son’s family is getting their first home and these will be growing in their new backyard.
