Fig Tree Winter Storage - Don't Make this MISTAKE

Winter storage of fig trees and the importance of allowing them to enter dormancy naturally. It is explained that fig trees, being deciduous, should ideally experience two to three frosts to trigger dormancy, indicated by the drop of leaves and fruits, and reduced sap flow. The ideal time to store fig trees is highlighted as when the forecast predicts temperatures dropping below 15 degrees Fahrenheit. The significance of tree age and maturity in determining their temperature tolerance is also noted, with younger trees requiring more careful consideration due to their varied lignification levels. Different storage options for fig trees are explored, each with its own set of considerations. Small pots are recommended for ease of movement, especially in colder climates where annual storage is necessary. A root cellar-like environment with stable temperatures is presented as an ideal storage location, and the importance of maintaining a temperature above 15 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent damage is stressed. Additionally, the video cautions against storing fig trees in basements due to typically warmer temperatures, suggesting garages or sheds as better alternatives. The importance of insulation and possibly heating in these spaces is also discussed to protect the trees from extreme cold.
