I found a fig tree on my property recently and was most delighted. It is covered with mini developing figs and all seemed to be going well until a couple of days ago when I noticed leaves yellowing and dropping off. It's the height of summer here - I've thrown a couple of buckets of water over it but might there be another problem I need to tackle??????? Greetings from NSW Australia.

It is a sunny corner so I think it will work great. Can you recommend a variety for our climate? Thanks! Hi,

Last yr it stayed in the pot in our attached garage covered in clear bubblewrap. The garage gets lots of light so it wasn't in the dark. It did fine there and had many figs in Sept. Remember to give it water once in awhile even when dormant! Mark the calendar <I> I live in northern DE and also have a potted fig (Brown Turkey).

I live in northern Maryland. I have a potted fig tree which I brought into my unheated mud room which has windows on 2 sides a week ago. The tree has lost all its leaves so I guess it has gone dormant. Can I leave it in the mud room for the Winter or should I move it to our barn where it will be in the dark? Thanks! Hi.

Worried it won't survive so I'm going to cover it. But, it still has all it's leaves and slot of non ripe figs on it. Can I still tie it up and cover it? Or do I first pull off all the leaves and figs before covering. Thanks in advance for the advise. Hi l live in northeast has a 6 month old fig tree I planted in may.
