What Zone Do Figs Grow In

Hardiness – Figs are reliably cold hardy in zone 7 and southward. They can survive winter temperatures down to 15 to 20 degrees F. You can grow them north of zone 7 if you provide them with winter protection or grow them in containers that can be stored in a garage or basement.

Can I grow figs in Zone 4?

Figs can be grown in most areas of the country as a landscape shrub or tree in the south up to zone 8 or higher and with protection as far north as zone 5 or even zone 4 depending on the planting site. Under most growing conditions, they are deciduous, shedding their leaves to bare stems in late fall and winter.

Can I grow a fig tree in Zone 6?

Never try to grow figs in the ground north of zone 6, and even there, plant the most cold-tolerant cultivars. Instead, grow your figs in containers and bring them indoors for winter.
