Please ID this fig tree

12 years ago

Can anyone here ID this fig by the leaves?

It was bought at superstore with no name other then "patio fig". There was a generic fig picture which popped up on google images on the label. It survived a brutal zone 3/4 winter being well mulched. If I am not mistaken the most widely sold figs would be brown turkey, chicago hardy or black mission.

canadianplant,
most likely it is one of BT or HC.
Metro is selling this year "Chicago hardy" labelled as such.
HD is seling "patio fig", last year PC, Fotino was selling Canadian Hardy fig.
Burlington HD store carries about 6-7 plants of Patio Fig 2-4 ft tall some have fruit of hazelnut size already. The leaves resemble those of HC at Metro stores. My BT and HC are just rooting cuttings and it is hard be 100% certain.
However, patio fig at HD Burlingotn looks more HC than BT. If fruit ripens it may further help me ID it.
It is impressive how hardy it is surviving past winter. You took good care of it.
Best of luck

I thought I'd get away with some root shoots if anything. I never expected any branches to survive. I do hope to get even a fruit or two for.I'd purposes.
