Dear All, I have a greenhouse where temperature in am is around 80’s and in pm it is around 60’s. Should I put fig plants in greenhouse or in garage? What will be good for fig plants? What is the minimum temp in garage that I fig plant can tolerate? Last question: What about small fig cuttings? Garage or greenhouse?

I'd keep them in the greenhouse, especially the small ones. Figs don't have to go dormant. __________________ Zone 6, MO Wish list: Galicia Negra, De La Reina - Pons, Genovese Nero - Rafed's, Sbayi, Souadi, Acciano, Any Rimada, Sodus Sicilian, any Bass, Pons or Axier fig, any great tasting fig.

If me. I would keep the 1st year small 1-3gallon plants in greenhouse and older larger plants in garage. Would utilize greenhouse for fig shuffle to awaken plants in spring and get a few weeks jump start on a new season. Look at my zone and you see what i mean it gets cold here with garage temps in the teens even though its attached to house.

Hi Danny, I have an attached screen room with my home that I have transformed into a greenhouse. I can leave the door open at night so heat (centrally heated home) distributes in the greenhouse too.
