HARDIER (to 8°F or lower?) and DROUGHT TOLERANT, this uncommon (and untested) vigorous tree (to 90'?) has handsome lobed foliage and a multitude of figs: they?re smaller than F. carica but there are more of them! S/M

This fun fig seems to be hardy and easy to grow. The leaves are deeply lobed and are dark green. Don't know about the fruit, but the foliage is very attractive.
