I keep my 75 or so potted figs in a dark basement which has a temp between 35-45 F until about May 1. Tho its dark down there, by May they have all begun to bud out & usually have an inch or two of very white growth which usually greens up a day or two after being outside. mIEKAL

Many people's potted figs leaf out too soon in garages, but my figs are always deeply dormant when I bring them out. In fact, maybe too dormant. From numerous discussions, the major difference I see is my trees are kept in the dark. But I haven't tried this with fruit other than figs.
