As winter approaches, preparing fig trees for dormancy is crucial for their health, continual production, and survival. A key aspect of this preparation is ensuring that the trees have fully shed their leaves before being moved into storage. This dormancy period is essential; if trees are placed in winter storage while still retaining foliage or before they are adequately dormant, they risk waking up prematurely and suffering damage from cold temperatures. To optimize the chances of survival, it's recommended to wait until temperatures are consistently below 15°F before relocating potted trees indoors, typically around Thanksgiving or Christmas.

For those in colder climates, particularly zones 8 and below, protecting young trees during their first winter is vital. Techniques such as bending branches close to the ground and covering them with mulch or insulation can provide additional protection against harsh conditions. Significant pruning of newly planted trees is also encouraged, as it stimulates robust growth in the following season. Additionally, ensuring the storage environment remains between 15°F and 50°F is essential to prevent premature awakening. Proper care during this dormant phase lays the foundation for healthy fig trees that can thrive in the spring.
