Chicago Hardy Fig Tree

When I gave birth last year to my son, I wanted to plant a tree for him.  It took a long time for me to decide what tree I wanted to purchase for him.  Months later, I finally decided that I wanted to plant a fig tree for him and ordered it in the summer or early fall.  Since the tree is shipped out only during certain time periods, this meant that I didn't get the tree until this spring.

I purchased a Chicago Hardy Fig tree, which can be grown in a pot.  Since it's too cold in my area to actually plant the fig tree into the ground, growing the tree in a pot allows the tree to be wheeled into some kind of shelter during the winter.  Despite it being grown in a pot, the tree is also supposed to be able to produce fruit.

So far, the tree has been doing well and the beautiful leaves have unfurled.  I hope I'll be able to get fruit this summer, but who knows.  Regardless, this tree is for my beautiful son.

Have you planted anything recently?
