Caught off guard, frost on my fig plants. The plants are well rooted, what now? Help me. |

Put pool noodles around them or pipe insulation and bury the root area with dry mulch. They will be ok. Where you at ? |

If you covered them with mulch around the base, even if some branches get damaged they should come back in the spring. |

Had a very light freeze here in NE Texas. Temp was down around 31-32f for an hour or so. The main thing have seen in the past with this scenario is the light frost will pretty much force dormancy which is not a bad thing. I had an extremely large late crop of figs and of course they will all fall off. Too bad, the forecast for the rest of the month is all 60's-70's and they would probably have made it if it had not been for the light frost. |
