Ficus overnight protection in Adelaide
Posted: July 4th, 2012, 7:52 pm
With night temps getting down to 4 over the next few days in Adelaide does anyone protect there figs in anyway??
At only 4 degrees your figs should be ok.
Growers in much colder areas like Canberra (-6 or lower) take figs inside for the winter. Figs are one of the few bonsai species that do ok inside and can even stay inside permanently.
We get regular -4 here and my figs live permanently in an unheated poly igloo.
Keeping them close to the house under a verandah will also usually provide enough protection in most areas.
