Fig Trees Chicago Hardy Includes Four (4) Plants with 4 Hello Organics Plant Tags

These starters are healthy, well packaged are three out of four are doing great. The one that isn’t doing good was because I went out of town and it wasn’t watered as well. I’ve been looking for the “Chicago” fig for quite a while, since I believe it will do best here in Oklahoma (zone 7). If I baby them as indoor potted trees, I believe they will do fine. It’s worth the price, and for the care and healthy plants recieved, it’s worth the purchase. Summer of 2025 and my seedlings are about 3feet tall. They stayed healthy and really hoping to get some fruit this year. By December of 2025 I have three Chicago Hardy trees planted still and growing prolifically, and each tree made fruit! I was so happy! Next Spring they should bear fruit in the Spring as well as the Fall before winter frosts sends them back into hibernation. I live in the middle of Oklahoma and have tried several other fig trees over the years with no luck. Give Chicago Hardy fig trees a try, the fruits are a little smaller but it’s worth it to finally have figs. Much love to all you gardeners 🙏🥰💙🦋🌈🌎🌀

These were well watered, but the little containers were just crammed with circling roots (a potential death sentence for a tree). Do you know how long it takes for a three-inch twig to grow into a tree? Lots of time. The plants lost their leaves within a couple of days, and a few of them turned black, apparently dead. I asked for a refund, and I was actually required to return the darned things, black stinky roots and all. That surprised and annoyed me because I had to drive across town to the USPS, which is how they wanted it returned. I won't buy from this company again.

The four small fig trees looked frangible on the day they arrived our home (2019-06-04). I transplanted them to half gallon pots on the same day and placed them in our garden. Unfortunately, overnight, wild animal bit off the heads of two trees to the ground. I then moved all four trees on my deck to avoid further damages and watered them daily. About a week later, the headless trees surprised me with green sprouts. The undamaged ones grew vigorously and enticed me to take a picture (2019-07-07). In early September, their beautiful green branches were turning brown, becoming woody, and telling me to plant them in the ground. I also noticed the appearance of pea-sized figs, but I pinched them off because they would have insufficient time to ripen. This winter will test their hardiness in Pennsylvania. 2020-04-09 - Not one of the fig trees I planted last September shows any sign of life. Two were decapitated probably by wild animals; the other two, simply dried wood. Nevertheless, I plan to buy and grow them again this year.

4 plants came in late from Florida (Aug 6) and were all around 5 inches tall on average with about 3-4 leaves per stem and fine roots (rooted cuttings). Some had damaged leaves, all had rust spots. Didn't think they were going to survive but I dabbed the rust spots (both the top and bottom of the leaf) with a copper sulfate solution using a q-tip, planted all of them in 3" pot, with compost and soil (amended with powdered 99% pure elemental sulfur to obtain pH 6-6.2) and left them on a window sill that receives 10 hours of direct sunlight, 3 hours of indirect. 80-90*F day temps, 70-75*F night temps, daily watering with rain water. Gave a 5ml dose of a 50% diluted 24-8-16 water soluble fertilizer to each plant on day 3 and by day 7, the roots had grown enough to reach the bottom of the 3" pot and were then transplanted to old 7-8" pots/containers. Same environmental conditions, same watering schedule, but on day 14, gave 3ml full strength dose of 24-8-16 water soluble fertilizer. Day 17, leaf buds started to appear. Day 21 I had mini leaves. It's now Aug 31st (day 25) and as I type up this review and I would say all 4 plants are thriving. In the pictures you can see the old damaged leaves with dried/crumbling rust spots with all the new green leaf/lateral growth. Only 2 plants grew in height by about 0.20 inches. Only complaint is the fig rust, but overall not bad at all. Rating 4.5 out of 5 Edited: Nov 7, 2021 - trees are large enough to transplant into the ground in the spring but brought indoors for the winter. Growth has been fantastic. The white residue on the leaves is diatomaceous earth.

Very tiny pot and tiny baby plants. So fragile and 2 out of 4 already broken stems when arrived.

So they arrive healthy but tiny. I transplanted them into a 4" x 4" pot with half peat potting soil & half vermiculite. Drainage is VERY IMPORTANT. I placed one plant spike feeder in each pot and put them under a grow lux LED light of 1200 LUMENS. In one week they had doubled their size. In two weeks they doubled their size again and I transplanted them into the 1 gallon containers and put them on the south side of the house to harden them off for winter. I know it will be a few years before I get any figs. I also knew they would arrive in their tiny size, BUT they grow very fast, they are very healthy and as long as you don't over water them, they will grow. I will buy from this vendor again!

I ordered two plants about 3 weeks ago and got four healthy plants! Two were a bit smaller but they are all healthy and growing well in my greenhouse. I'm more than satisfied! No fungus, no bugs, no problems. Some of the reviews I read mentioned a fungus. I spray all of my plants with a solution of 6 tablespoons of H2O2 ( 3% hydrogen peroxide) in a gallon of water to eliminate fungus and blight. It works on everything. But these plants arrived well packaged, in good condition, relatively thick and hardy enough to withstand transplanting. I will be happy to update as they grow!

I received these figs faster than expected but I am very disappointed in what I received. I received the 4 plants, size and pot as promised, but these figs are not what I expected. The figs are in rough shape but I am sure they will survive. If you look at the photo, i looks like the leaves were chewed off of by grasshoppers or another insect. I would not purchase again.
