Winterizing Container Fig Trees | Where to Store them & How to Avoid Season Ending Setbacks
Updated: Apr 4, 2023
I get this question every year. What do I do with my container fig trees come winter? Where should I store them? What do you think is best? I have a basement that's dark. Is that a good place to put them? Here is the most recent version of that question and I thought my response to this particular case study would help clear up all of the confusion to make it easy for everyone.
I have a small cabana like room where I keep some herbs basil rosemary etc. it has a window so the fig trees will get some sunlight. Is that ok or should I put them in a basement with no sunlight? Someone said I should leave them in the dark and let it go dormant. Not sure what is right way.
Is there any way to keep them "awake" all winter if you have a heated grow room? Or do they need dormant time?
