Hello all - this is my first time posting. I'm a new fig grower and have a few lovely plants. Last winter was my first winter with figs - I brought them all into my basement, where it was relatively cold, and all went well.
This year I brought them into the basement again - but its been a very warm winter, and on top of that I did a little insulating work, and so in general the basement is not that cold. Good for my heating bill, but maybe not so good for the figs.
I just went downstairs to see if they needed water - and noticed one of the trees has already - in january - started to sprout new leaves. The others havent. So my question is - what to do?
Do I leave the tree w leaves in the basement or bring it upstairs to my sunroom - which gets pretty decent light and is actually probably colder than the basement (around 58F or so usually)? I think we'll have a few nights below 25F so I can't leave them outside - unless I vigilantly check the weather and move then in each time the temp drops.
In general - I'm just looking for some advice on how to care for these suckers and give them a nice winter rest. all suggestions very welcome. thanks!
