    300+ chilling hours

  • Is it self fertile or does it need a companion?

    It is self fertile.

  • Your growing guide states “Figs are hardy to USDA zones 7-11”. If the Chicago Fig is the exception, are there any growing/care exceptions?

    Not especially, it should be grown like any other fig.
