Trees Leafing Out

What  is everyone doing with their trees that are leafing out in the garage>

I have numerous with leaves high tomorrow mid 60's and lows next week in the
20's.

mike, i would still leave them in the garage until the outside is at least 40 degrees at night if the tree is much older. if it's new tree that's rather young, i'll wait till it's at least 50 degrees low. 

now, having said that, you can do "fig shuffle" if you are interested in moving the containers in and out of the garage everyday. when the temp is high during the day with good sun, leave 'em outside. bring it back in before the temp drops at night. 

Keep it as cool as possible but give it as much light as you can.  Otherwise it will get lanky if it continues to grow.  I'd put a lot of ice cubes on the soil to try to get it to stop growing.

ice cubes ? - here let me give you plenty of light and a cold bath !
Maybe time for the fig shuffle and yes if there leafing out they will slowly start drinking .
Doing the fig shuffle the light they recieve should not make them leggy .
Give ice cubes though if there running a fever.  ; )

All in fun RC.
