Fig Tree Plants in Pots

Question

Do fig tree plants in pots need to go inside or just wrapped in fleece? These plants are only a year old and can be moved. Also, do the leaves drop off in the winter?

Answer 1

Yes, the leaves do drop off in the winter.

Whether wrapping will be enough or not depends on where you live. If you live in Zones 5 or less, it will need to come indoors. Even a garage or basement will work. If you are in Zone 6, wrapping should be enough, though we would recommend placing it in a sheltered location. Higher than than and it should survive without extra care.
