Interested in edible landscaping? What could be more enjoyable and rewarding than creating an edible landscape? Fig trees are fine specimens for use in the edible landscape. Their large and bold leaves provide a tropical effect in the landscape, and you’ll be rewarded with loads of delicious figs! The Chicago Cold Hardy Fig is ideal for use in the home orchard or as a specimen or warm-season privacy hedge in landscape borders. 

Fig trees will grow reasonably well in most soil types. They produce the best fruit in moderately to slightly acidic, moist but well-drained, fertile soil that is rich in organic matter. In soil with low fertility, it’ll be worth your time to mix in some organic compost to the native soil. They prefer the soil to retain a sufficient water supply, particularly during fruit development in summer. However, avoid excessive water levels that would keep the soil constantly soggy or wet, as this can be problematic. The best and most fruits will be produced when trees are growing in full sun. However, fig trees that receive a little shade during the hottest part of summer days will still produce good crops.
