I'm curious when yours, (especially in the United States in the zone 6 and 7) figs begin to growth.

My in-ground Hardy Chicago typically sprouts late May. My potted plants in the garage start budding in April to early May. I work hard to keep them asleep because I can't give them as much light as they need until Early May. The logistics of shuffling stacked fig pots is too much.

My unheated attached garage stays around 50° all winter, so some break dormancy in Feb, while most break in March. As for in ground , sometime in April.

I try to delay uncovering my in-ground figs until after the last frost date May 20. Usually at Easter the temptation to uncover them begins. The bright sun and hot temperatures I know those poor figs are boiling under the covers but from past experience I know that if I uncover them in April they will start growing and then a sudden frost will come and set them back. Last year was bit odd because of the severe winter and the in-ground figs didn't break dormancy until June.

I have mine in a south facing window right now and they are doing well. Today was 70 but not worth taking them out for 1 day. The next 10 days are back to the 50's and right around freezing at night.
