question about a young tree

I received a beautiful gift of the fig tree variety. Both are young - one is dormant but ready to wake up, and the other has a leaf and has broken dormancy. Both from the same location. My own trees outside are very much asleep and I don't expect them to break dormancy till mid March at the earliest, though beginning of April is more likely. Should I keep the leafed one indoors? 

Thought I should add, the temps here are hanging out lows/highs in the 40s, with the occasionally "spike" into the 50's. 
Wet Seattle weather.

I did email the sender to find out if they were keeping them indoors. That probably should have been my first question.

depends on what the low temp is in your area. i would not leave precious trees outside until the low is above 50 F. 

I think I'll just grow them indoors with my cuttings. Nice and warm with a grow light.
