Hey guys i was looking for some advice.  This is my first year with fig trees and i have six small plants (1-3 ft) that are going into an attached unheated garage. I was thinking of putting them in boxes lined with fiberglass insulation just as added protection.  Will this be ok?  Will they be too warm?  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Pete,
is the garage beeing opened constantly to park a car? in that case yes you'll need extra protection. If it remains closed up most of the time, you'll be okay just placing them against a wall.
This is Father's Anthony's garage in Allentown? and not the one in wilkes barre I hope.

Bass, it is Fr Anthonys garage. there are no cars in it and it is closed 99% of the time. I was thinking of wrapping them just in case the temp happend to drop really low.  Would this be alright?

I have similar circumstance with storage, over the years i have had some damage to young plants as i only throw besheet over them, now that they are mature they do fine without protection in attached unheated garage .
Last winter was the brutal cold one the coldest they have seen since i have had them and they were fine.
If i had small plants such as yours i would try to put them up high and at back of garage away from overhead door with a cardboard sleeve around them for some protection.

I do the same as what Dieseler mentioned except I used a blanket.

Ok so this is also my first year actually storing plants for the winter is 20f too cold? I will be wrapping it up with some blankets and it will be in my office. I have a space between the entrance and the office that is unheated and can get up to about 20f in the winter should that be good enough. This is ofcourse for my 3ft B. Paradiso and Brown Turkey and my yellow serbian was rooted in mid august do you that that has sufficient roots to survive through the winter?

Hi Nelson,
Smallest i stored in garage was in gallon container protected with cardboard sleeve from wind up high as heat rises.
My small less than one year olds in gallon containers did get some limb damage that year but grew fine following season that was my experience with some young ones.
I do have less than 1 year olds now in garage in 1-3 gallon pots and some in bigger pots against house wall in attached garage and hung a plastic tarp from top of wall down over them secured on bottom so when overhead door opens the wind does not hit them and i think they will be fine. Next dormant season they will not get this type of care.
One important thing , keep the wind off them in there in such a pathway that every time the door opens they get a blast of cold winter air.

Ahh thanks Martin thats exactly what I was looking for, my main worry was exactly that when I open the door the wind that comes in. I will make sure I protect them well so they dont get hit with the wind.

Wind is a deadly enemy. Water is another one. I water twice last season & had about 3 pots rotted out. Looks like one watering will do & sparingly. My smallest pot is 32 oz cups last year
