How Big Does It Have To Be Before I Don’t Cover It In Winter?

Question

I live at the Jersey shore. The tree has done well and had hundreds of figs this fall.

Answer 1

This depends, largely, on the cultivar of Fig that you have. Most figs are not fully hardy in zone 7, so unless you know for a fact that it is then it may need cover until it is fairly large.

Hardy varieties can be left uncovered after 2 or 3 years.
