Yes, we grow fig trees in Huntington, IN. My brother-in-law grows fig trees in Rockford, IL. The trick seems to be wintering the trees. We dig them up half way around the roots and lay them down on the ground. Then we trim all the leaves and remaining figs off the trees. Next, we place an old throwrug over the top of the entire tree. We place bricks around the rug's edges to keep it in place and to protect the tree from winter wind. Lastly, we place mulch rather high over all the rug.
In the spring after the last frost, we bring the trees back to a standing position, fill in any depression made from digging it up in the fall, then give it water, and wait until we can harvest the figs. I hope this helps

Ought to work. Ginkgo's are zone 5 trees. I've seen them in northern Indiana; Tampa shouldn't be a problem. See the USDA's site for tree hardiness. I see them in Kissimmee(zone 9)
Why do different perspectives exist
Above the timber line is the alpine zone. This zone is an area in which trees cannot grow because the altitude makes it too cold for the trees to survive.
The parts of Wisconsin that are zone 5 could grow the Chicago Hardy Fig.
Valparaiso, Indiana is in the Central Time Zone.
Winamac, Indiana is in the Eastern Time Zone (ET).
Deciduous trees can thrive in the marine west coast climate due to its moderate temperatures, plentiful rainfall, and distinct seasons. The ample moisture and mild conditions support healthy growth and enable the trees to take advantage of the longer growing season to develop strong root systems and store energy in preparation for the winter months. Additionally, the yearly cycle of shedding leaves helps conserve resources during colder winter periods.
Maple trees grow in all countries of the Northern Temperate Zone. The Maple Leaf is the emblem of Canada, the name of a bullion coin minted in Canada and the name of the Toronto professional ice hockey team
