I am in northern CT, i am not trying it. i will try it next year with a cutting, i would advise the same as i think it will be too risky. i have also heard stories of people with outdoor trees, not neccisarily this variety, digging a hole once their tree is established in the ground, and bending it over and burying it before winter comes producing new shoots/growth in spring

Supposedly down to zone 4I think you are 5 or 6. Out side in the winter south face preferably against a light colored wall ( a warm spot) use burlap to stop wind and fill with autumn leaves for insulation.

Grow it in a pot till next spring or for a year or two before planting. Ps You can supposedly use the cuttings to propagate new trees.

I live in Northern New Jersey, My fig is doing great. Purchase this year for my patio, gave it a lot of water and direct sun. Stands about four feet tall and full now.

I don't know. For what it's worth, I was told in an extension service meeting that the Hardy Chicago is not necessarily more winter hardy than other varieties, but that it bears quickly on first year growth. Thus, even if it freezes back, you may get figs on the new growth, whereas other varieties will not mature figs on the new growth without an extended growth season. I haven't had mine long enough to know what it will do vs other varieties I've got.Lee E.

Probably not if you just plant and leave it. Beware, this is a coastal redwood and requires winter protection. If you want to try something to plant in the ground shoot for dawn redwood. This has a better chance.

No it will not because my growing season is not long enough. It's just ornamental.

It should do fine in your area, has grown well here in north Fl. Water lightly daily for the first week, after that only needs water when you see it turing gray. best time to plant would be after the danger of frost is over. After established the cold will not hurt it. You should see good growth by the end of the first week. Wait till its about six or seven inches tall to mow the first time, after that you can mow as desired.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area with no frost, this plant is doing great where I live, plant it in a pot and move it indoor during cold winter months.

Hi I live in NJ and we can get a lot of snow in winter time. I planted mine on the ground and it's thriving well. I also have a bigger one now 4 yrs old. Both are planted on ground.

I grew them at early spring, they started to bear since May, and it is still bearing now at September, I live in New Jersey so I don't think it would still bear at winter but perhaps in warmer area they will that I hope someone live in warmer place could further confirm that.

Most certainly. I grow cold season annuals in mine in zone seven. It's too difficult to keep it the proper temperature for tender plants.

In climate zones 9-11 they can be grown outdoors year round although they can become invasive so be aware of where you sow your seeds; any climate zone colder than 9 can be grown as an annual outdoors (or simply brought indoors for winter). They should tolerate average indoor room temperatures fine, just be sure to use soil which drains well that doesn't compact easily and have it where it can get lots of light with some direct sunlight.

This is a three season greenhouse. It is designed to stand up to snow and cold temperatures, but should only be used from spring to fall.

In NY I was very successful planting indoors , then out after danger of frost. Only one lived over the winter however.BR

I don't know if it will be winter hardy. I potted mine and keep it in the house during the winter and it sits on my front porch during the warmer months. I do know that with keeping it indoors it fruits all year round. Sorry, I couldn't specifically answer your question.

I don't know if it is supposed to be grown indoors, but, I had to bring mine in for the winter and it is doing great!

I'm from upstate NY, Broome County, a friend of mine has a large greenhouse with a few banana plants, but he has backup power for longer power outages there, additional lighting for lack of sunshine, and additional sources of heat. If you can you keep temperature over 65, with additional light, and account for power outages, they should grow. The plants I have are in large pots in Florida.

We keep ours indoors over the winter and it seems to do fine. It definitely thrives when it is outside, but I don't think it is absolutely necessary as long as it has plenty of natural light. It does grow fairly quickly and might soon outgrow a low ceiling!

at least 7. this is essentially a tropical plant. they grow well. anything under zone 7 will have to be brought in for the winter.

Very cold weather will probably will hurt it. Mine was planted in the San Francisco Bay area and on the coast where in never gets very cold.
