Some of my newly rooted plants have just formed and forming new fig embryo. The leaves are still green because of a weather bonus this fall. I usually store young dormant plants in a cold store above freezing (+7C ~ +10C) during the winter. Will these embryos and tiny fig (1/8" dia) survive until spring and wake up to grow as the plant wakes up from dormancy?
I will experiment with a plant or two.

What I saw this year on 30+ year old fig in a greenhouse is that some will and some won't.  It had some figs quarter sized and I remember 1 ripening and the rest did not, although I could have been confused which was new and which was not, for the most part none of them did ripen (if none at all if my mind is playing tricks on me) but this paticular fig may see -2 or -3 and that is about it, it doesn't get a frost formed on it though as it is in a covered greenhouse very close to the wall next to the boiler which may not run during the winter but the owner of the greenhouse lets the pilot light burn and stays around when the greenhouse gets too cold.

I wouldn't expect them to ripen but i leave a few figs on when they go dormant in hopes that there's some feedback mechanism that tells the tree to ripen them earlier next year.

Hi Ottawan,
I was wondering the same thing.  We'll have to compare notes in the spring.  One of my plants kept producing figs that I was pulling off, but as it slows down the newest figs are just tiny little things that seem to have stopped growing.  Once that plant is fully dormant I figured I just store it with those tiny fig starts.  I expect they'll drop off, but really have no idea.  We'll see.

Sure, I will follow up on this thread about the progress.

Nice information, thanks for sharing.

Best,
