just rooted potted baby fig trees

So I have 4 very special just potted rooted cutting.  It just started to get into the 30's at night here in Dallas so I have kept them outside until now.  If I bring them in and put them in a sunny window for the winter, will they still do ok? Or should I plant and protect them? I just want to make sure they make it :)) Thanks for any input!!

Kim,
if they were my dear plants i would take them indoors bt sunny window, my experience in past is they will probably drop some leaves and daydream not sleepif not given enough light, in other words they really slow down but spring back again towards spring. Dont water like you normally would outside just a little till soil is Slightly damp unless they hold there leaves then give a little bit more water as it evaporates out of soil. We tend to over water ours in the house as opposed to outside where they would get a warm brezze to help evaporate water.
You wont kill them indoors , outdoors even covered if there small they just might not be strong enough thats why if mine i would bring indoors. As of now i have about 4 or 5 under a grow light this year for first time but they have not lost leaves abd seem to like it for now.

If they stay warm and growing all winter, they will be fine. They grw year round in Hawaii. I would want them to continue growing and getting established.  

Thanks guys! I planted one the other day and it has been cold outside but it seems to be doing good so far. Out side would be easier, I was just afraid it would kill them. GReat advice :))
