Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comWe have a 15 ft. ficus which lives in a pot on our patio. It has become so large that it is impossible to bring inside the house. We have been protecting it by shielding in a corner next to the house and putting up a tarp, which does not touch it. What is the lowest temp it can take without having to move it? Our zip is 36580.
