Hello Scooter,
Welcome to our figs forum community.
There really are no cold hardy Ficus carica varieties. They are native to a temperate dry zone 9 - 10 and some hardier and healthier varieties and cultivars can survive colder zones with protection.
Here's a topic on some hardier cultivars,

Hello and welcome to the forum.
Ronde de Bordeaux and Florea may do well for you, both are relatively cold hardy and early ripening.
Improved Celeste is another I recommend for the same reason. Many other varieties just don't ripen fruit in short season locations un less you havery a greenhouse- a real bummer!Jesse in western Maine, zone 4/5

Yes, virtually everyone here is carrier for this virus and an enabler for this addition. Just today I received some unexpected cuttings in the mail, and some other graciously offered cuttings should be here next week. Great people here!Originally posted by lilfiggy View Post
