Frost advisory tonight. Should the figs come in?

There's a frost advisory tonight.  Temps between 35-40.  Should the fig trees come in?

I have 40 pots sunken in the ground and they are completely leafed out so mine are not moving lol.... though I am going to throw a temporary tent over them with heat just in case. Calling for 1C here so frost is quite likely.

Funny we are in a geat advisory. Warning us about cars getting really hot inside. wish i could send yall some heat. Had to bring my fresh up potted greeks in the ac

Mine are still babies so I brought them into the garage.

Still less than 40℉ at night here so mine aren't outside yet

I brought my plants in tonight, except the one that I planted last week in ground.  I covered it with a blanket, it still pretty small.
Weather forecast here is 37 or 38 degrees with chance of frost.  Looks like the last chance for frost this season here.

I was supposed to be a low of 38 by me last night, but when I checked at about 4:15am (when I get up for work), it was about 45. I had moved all my rooted cuttings in gallon pots into the temp greenhouse, taken in all the toms, eggs, and peppers, and left the older, more established trees outside. Oh yeah, took in my citrus, too. A pain, but on balance, this year is far better than last year, which was pretty much just cold until some time in June.

mine have been coming in and out of the house almost daily for the last cpl months ..

One of my young plants leaves ended up drying out with the wind and temps going up and down so much.  sucks that i had to clip the leaves.  I was suppose to clip the leaves that were dried right?  

Yeah - I would leave the healthy leaves. I've had a couple lose some leaves for various reasons this year and they pretty quickly pushed out new ones.

I live in philadelphia.I think its 7b.    all my figs are in large pots.   They seem to be doing great now.   I have 3 galicia negra small trees and soon to have a ohra tabahanosika tree.  I'm currently growing cuttings of genovese nero,   maroc noir,  G.E. neri,   ronde de bordeaux and soon   peloponnisaka aspra.
