Morning Tom

I sure hope not. If they are not taking up space you need, suggest you just leave them there. The weather forecasters (if you believe those folk) do not forecast more severe weather & no further harm will be done if indeed they are still alive. If in April they appear toes up, get your cutters, and gradually start at outside limbs, take 1/2" cuts 'til  you hit green.

If no green, let me know what variety you lost & I'll root more for you.

Consider next winter placing fig (if not too heavy) in your cold cellar under your verandah

Cheers                 Bert

Bert,

 

During the cold snap my garage froze.  I had a pail of water next to the figs and it froze.

 

So are my figs dead?

 

My outside, low temp so far is -17.3F.  Not sure what the garage low temp was, but water froze.

 

Later,

Tom.
