Hi, I'm very interested in starting to grow some figs but I'm unclear on a couple of things. I'm just outside of Chicago in zone 5.

1. Can figs be grown in ground here? If so, are their many options and what are favorites.

2. Do they need multiple trees to pollinate?

3. Where can I buy some varieties?

4. What type of soil should I grow them in?

5. If pots are preferred, is 5 gallon common?

Thanks for taking the time. Nealo
