Fig temp danger zone.

I've had my figs out for a whole week now.  I was concerned that the 58F cellar temps would start the figs breaking dormancy.  When I could I'd get them outside if temp was above 32F.  Is 29F any where near a danger zone for a fig.  Even a 1 to 2 year old fig tree.  That's what is being predicted for tonight.  Might have to bring them in?

29*F is no big deal for a fig. Mine have been down to 22 degrees without any problems and Martin has seen the temps in his garage go down to 7*F if I remember correctly with no problems. The big thing is to keep them out of the wind it will do more damage than the straight cold....in my judgement.

Great, I can give my back a reprieve.

You know just bring them in and be on the safe side.
Besides you can get good exercise in doing so to work off the holidays meals. ; )
