Would you go dormant already? Geez!

[Figneer]

My trees still alive, kicking and producing figlets although not good tasting. Low temps high 40s and low 50s … so boring

 

[ETXfigs]

Mine aren't going dormant either.

In the Phoenix metro area my figs usually start to go dormant in late Dec and drop their last leaf around the first of the year.

Need few nights of freezing temps, in the next 3 weeks maybe

 

[Inflorescence]

Mine aren’t fully dormant either and I have warm weather forecasted. Just hoping there isn’t a sudden shift!

Yessss!!!! It got down to 33 last night, didn’t phase them a bit.

That's wild.... It's all about root zone temps though. Until they drop, the leaves wont either. That are a good frost.... But better if the temps drop slower

since November when the day temp was above 80 & low temps around 50 ( that’s considered cold in our zone) the fig taste became bland however figs in cold zones like yours would have the best taste since these temps are probably middle of summer for you, this I cant understand why?

About a month ago we had a cold snap, here in south Louisiana. it got down to about 25 one night and 30 the next night, zapped all the leaves on my trees and about an inch on the tips, took about a week for them all to fall off. It has gotten pretty warm until about 2 days ago

Nights don’t typically get that chilly for me until well into October. I usually won’t drop freezing until beginning of November. This year we had an unusual earlier cold snap though. I’ve eaten fresh figs (ok but not great) into first few days of November

You took a freeze before me…. Now that’s weird.

Difference here is that it’ll get a lot colder yet

That is my Sao Miguel Roxo, the cold weather did not affect the green undignified tips

I have some leaves hanging on in my garage longer than expected.
But dang Sam, is that normal for this time of year there?

 

[Figgin' A]

Man, that's terrible. Y'all should move up here to Southern Ontario. We have none of those issues up here, and our figs went dormant like 3 months ago

 

[betdempster]

Lol 9a San Antonio still gree as can be... Love it here and wouldn't trade it until I'm in the second or third month of 100 degrees with not rain... Not even a sprinkle

How much snow did you get on the west side today? I spent ages shovelling that heavy slush. Just brutal!
