Nice. I've got 8 potted now and I want to plant 5 or 6 in the ground come Spring. I'm in 8a and a friend near me says his figs all died back to the ground. Ross has said 8 shouldn't have an issue with dieback, but they did. Now, I'm wondering if mine will die back or not. Yours gives me hope, but really, it'll be a trial I figure one way or another. Thanks for sharing.
These trees did not suffer any die back whatsoever last winter. I know the temperature went down as low as 8 F. I didn’t protect them at all. This winter is looking like it may get cold so we’ll see. 🤞

I can post a few pictures on our Facebook page. All of the trees survived the winter without taking any damage. They are growing well.
