I'm not totally new as I do have an existing fig tree on my property that does well with very little effort on my part. I basically pack the base with straw and wrap it in burlap and tarps every winter after some pruning. 

It was sold as a Petite Negri but after looking around the site I'm not sure. It's not that big a deal what I have but I would like to know what it is. In all honestly I started looking for a Negronne but couldn't find one.

I decided to grow this in a 5 gallon bucket for the first year then in the ground next spring. Is it OK to leave this out doors now, when the temperatures might drop into the low 50's or high 40's at night? My instinct says no but if I can to would be a lot easier right now. I am the upper end of zone 7 in South Jersey. What is a good temperature range to leave this outside on it's own?

Here is a picture. If anyone has any ideas on what I have I would really appreciate it.

Thanks, Joe. Hope this works:

too young to be cold!  I wish you all the luck. You may need it. Welcome to the forum.

I moved 253 of my figs outside last Saturday including many that were rooted recently. I'm in z 7 as well. I don't worry about my baby trees unless it freezes. I get most of my damage from the wind and rude critters rummaging around and misbehaving. It's amazing how my back porch and deck go from an empty wasteland to a jungle every spring. Critters pop up everywhere. Can't wait for the cicada invasion.I'm not sure exactly what it is but the leaves on your fig are looking "off". I think I'd keep that one close especially as it's your only one. It's important to harden your fig off if it's been in a sheltered place for a while. Don't over water or over feed.
Welcome and good luck.

Thanks Grasa, I moved it inside. Do you have any idea what temperature range is safe to put it outside?

Thanks Michael, my local forecast shows some nights down around 40 for a couple of nights over the ten day forecast so I'm going to bring it in at night for now. This year has been cooler then normal and I don't want to risk it.

As for the leaves, they may look like that from being shipped. I bought it from someone in North Jersey and I am South so I am fairly sure it will do fine in my zone. He is actually zone 6.

Here is the where I got it with some other pictures which might help identify it.

Joe,
Young trees are hard to ID as the leaves don't grow true to form. I don't know this grower but he's a f4f member so you can PM with any questions you have. I don't worry much about 40 degrees but as you're new to this being careful is a very good idea.

I just looked at the link I provided and the seller added a lot more information then my auction had. I see he has answered pretty much everything in his newer listing. BTW he was a good seller and shipped fast.

Thanks for the help.

Anytime.

The problem I see is that you put that newly rooted tree from a cup to a 5 gallon bucket. Most of us generally go to a one gallon pot the first year and up pot as needed to a 2 gal., then 3 gal, then 5gal. That is way too much soil and will hold too much moisture for those tender roots. I think you risk rotting the roots. This is just my opinion, just offering a friendly suggestion. Maybe others will chime in.

Tim I think you're right -- I somehow didn't even pay attention to the fact it was in a 5 gallon pot. Moving from 1g to 5 g I'd do but a baby plant into 5 g is a bit much.
Joey -- You may want to reduce pot size for the summer or at the very least make sure the soil mix drains very well. I use a soil mix with zero dirt. Having wet roots will really endanger your fig - they do not like wet feet.

Welcome!  I wouldn't let it get below 50.  Make sure your soil drains fast and doesn't feel saturated with water.  That will rot the roots.  They need air as well as water.  If the soil has enough air you'll be ok with a big pot.

Thank you all for the help, lots of great information here. I'm going to keep an eye on the moisture and move it the house at night or if the temp drops below 60.
