Thanks Lynda, that is very helpful as I will be putting them into containers
and had planned to wrap the pots with insulation, but had not thought of a
cover for the top! My house is only 12 feet by 30 feet so there is no way I
can bring them into the house for the winter.

Do you have a space where you can protect it during the winter? I don't
really garden by zones cause our zone makes no sense. We are supposedly 7B
and since we routinely get continuous days before 10 degrees, go figure how
they came up with 7B.

At anyrate, we have a Dwarf Black figs in wine barrels. DH built them a
mini-green house that goes over them come winter and I wrap the barrel well
and mulch like crazy.

The silly things are already leaving out this year and we just had snow
(some is still on the ground) last week. We'll keep them in their
greenhouse at night until mid-June and we put them back on starting in
September since we get frosts that early some years and we rarely get frost
warnings.
