No it won't.
:)

Could get a cheap frost cover 'bout $10 from bunnings and drape it over them all if you are worried. I would not bother unless a frost is predicted.
We had a few frosts last winter and none of my 50 or so figs we effected. I can't find it now but someone posted a picture of fig bonsai covered in snow. I believe even they survived.


Tis' a bit chilly tonight though.
Regards, Mitchell.

Same in Melbs - should be gettin that 35 deg + weather :crikey: , but the 2012 event is on the horizon :imo: , so will have to adjust.

Figs r doin ok, they kinda in stasis, hanging out for the hot days :beer: .

Like Mitch said, unless frost (and a cold one at that) is forecast, wouldn't stress too much :fc: .

My figs are growing leaves, faster than I can pluck them here in Sydney. :palm:
