How do you store your fig trees over the winter? I'm on the Illinois-Wisconsin border in Zone 4b and planted my first fig in a large container last spring. My garage isn't heated, but plants placed against the house walls in the garage survive. I thought I could overwinter the fig there. I also put some large containers of ornamentals in the basement for the winter. It never goes below 40F there, though, so chilling doesn't occur. I'm interested in your techniques.
