A staff member at Powell Gardens suggested that we consider planting a Fig. Would a Hardy Chicago be a good choice for KC? Thanks.

More on Figs
Here is another link on growing Figs in this area. Your question about figs spurred a memory of eating brevas (early figs). If you ever get the chance they are delicious.

Figs
Hardy Chicago should do nicely here. Here is a link to a blog article from Powell Gardens on FIGS which gives a good run down of the varieties they are growing.
Good luck.
