Certified ExpertA.Generally, you will want to remove it during the days above freezing, and cover again below. But if you are having days above freezing now, then it would be a good time to uncover during the day.

72076Q.Fig tree trouble
I have a brown turkey I planted in the spring of 2017, I got about ten figs. Now the tree looks dead. The branches are black and the tree looks dead. I’m afraid to cut it down in case it’s just dormant, it’s in direct sun and got plenty of water. Any suggestions? Thank you Donna Millican

April 28, 2018A.Epsom salt is good for figs and might help. You can add 2 tablespoons of Epsom salt to a few gallons of water, and water the tree with it, twice a year or so. The following article has some other suggestions you might try:
