All of my potted figs got hay stuffed around them or put into the cold greenhouse.

What variety is this tree?

What variety is this tree?

Black Mission , although the fruits were never dark...most were so shaded by the leaves.

Both my in ground and potted trees are still bleeding sap so is everyone going to wait for the trees to go into dormancy or move them in the storage this weekend.

We have been moving the trees that lost leaves and as the week went on more trees lost leaves. So we are nearly more that half way there.

Built my shelter today and put my figs inside. Should be ready to go now.

how low does the temp get for you all?

I dont remember last year's lowest temps but I did put my trees in the shed because below freezing temps were going to linger around for more than a week. I couldnt take a chance on trees dying during that period.

Well, the nasty weather has not put the trees to sleep because sap is still bleeding.

I was at that point last week... Since Monday, the leaves are down! It happened quickly this year
