"Chicago Hardy Fig - Fruits are purplish-brown with a good sweet flavor.
Plants are hardy to 10 degrees F(-12 degrees C). The plants will produce a
minimum 100 fruits with a 4 feet tall plant.
Dannys Delight Fig - A possible mutation or seedling found in Southwest
Michigan. This plant has survived temperatures -5 degrees F(-20 degrees C).
The fruits are purplish-brown with a good flavor. Plants should be tested
before planting commercially."
I think the seedling possibility can be ruled out. Sounds more like this
could be a hardier sport of Chicago Hardy. However, several figs can
survive -5 F, but only by resprouting from the protected roots. I'm curious
if the wood can survive this temperature. Does anyone know more about this
fig?
