All figs thrive in organically rich, moist, well-draining soil in full sun to partial shade. Chicago figs stems are hardy to 10 F. In USDA zones 5 and 6, this fig can be grown as a low growing shrub that is “laid down” in the winter, known as heeling in.
Similarly, how fast do Chicago fig trees grow? This variety will grow 2-3 feet per year up to maximum of 8 feet tall and 6 feet wide in the garden.
Accordingly, what zones do fig trees grow in?
Typically, fig trees are only hardy to USDA zone 8, while the roots survive in zones 6 and 7. Pick varieties like ‘Hardy Chicago’ and ‘Brown Turkey’ to grow outdoors as zone 5 fig trees. ‘Hardy Chicago’ is top on the list of the most reliable varieties of fig trees in zone 5.
Can you grow a fig tree in Michigan?
Figs are not hardy enough to do well outside in Michigan. So you will need to grow them in pots so that you can move them to semi-protected sites in the winter–semi-commercial growers grow figs in poly houses where they can be protected from mid winter and spring low temperatures.
