Hi Frank,

You are able to grow fig trees in Vermont but they need protection in the winter and may not provide a large yield. Visit your local garden centers and see what varieties they sell that are cold hardy. Here are links to a couple of articles/fact sheets that might help answer your question.

There are several varieties that are good to grow in cold climates. Again, visit your local garden centers and see what varieties they recommend. Here are a couple of articles/fact sheets that will help. The one from the University of Minnesota is very good.
