I have a tiny little baby fig tree and it’s supposed to go down to the 30s this evening. Should I cover it? The information I was given was that it could survive much lower temperatures...but it’s so young.
Well, I don’t know the answer to that. RD might know though. I think I would be tempted to at least cover it with a row cover, if it is small enough, which should make it OK to 28 degrees, but I am very new to all this stuff.
MM - Yes, cover it, especially if it’s in a pot. The older, more hardened figs can handle the cold stress, but new ones cannot.
