fig tree

Question

I have a one year old Celeste Fig. Has been growing fine all summer. There are about 12 figs on it now. We live in Eastern New York and I wonder how long can I leave it outdoors in order for them to ripen or can I bring it indoors and use grow lights? We usually have frost around the 1st of Oct.

Answer 1

Fig Trees are actually quite tolerant of cold, but not below 25 degrees!
