Potted figs breaking dormancy too early

I wanted to know what I should do with my figs since they are leading out in my garage but the night temps are still in the 30's? I'm suppose to have a warm stretch and was thinking of bringing them out but didn't know if I should put them in shade because I don't want to burn the pale green leaves.

Those leaves don't matter much even if they get scorched. But I'd put them in partial shade to start. Bring them back inside if it freezes again.

I got some casters and a few slabs of scrap 3/4" plywood and OSB. I roll the trees out every morning and back into the garage every night. With big carts this doesn't take much effort... At this point the garage will be enough to protect them even if temps go lower than usual.

Those leaves will get sun scold and fall off. I would take them all out. Fish can handle temps in 30s.

Navid.
