Doc: Where are you located? & would you say Sal's Fig is as winter hardy as Hardy Chicago? I'm guessing your winter lows are in the high teens / low 20s.......

My In-laws had a fig bush in NJ and it produced but died down every winter.
I didn't find out the name but I had contact with a guy in NYC who grew
several fig bushes in a greenhouse. I heard that Sal's Fig was brought over
from Italy and mine grows well here with very little die back. I got it
from a member in Connecticut who told me it produced and survived there.
My Chicago Hardy looks like it is going to make a few this year, I only got
a few figs from it last year but it is only a couple of feet high. My Sal's
produces more than I can eat.
