Hi Shoe... it is nice "to be seen" these days. We just saw 3 inches of snow overnight. Not common for this area and probably heading your direction. Won't complain though, I just keep saying we are one day closer to springtime.

I do understand there are some fig cultivars that are more cold sensitive. Brown Turkey is one of the hardier figs.

I have heard that when nipped by frost, you won't get a fig crop but I haven't found that to be the case either. In my experience, the fig crop depends on water and fertilizer received and both are easy to control when kept as a container plant.
