Cotswolds Garden - FAQs
Frequently asked gardening related questions
Hardy varieties like 'Brown Turkey' usually survive UK winters well, especially in milder regions. However, young trees or those in exposed locations can suffer frost damage. If your fig is in a pot, move it to a cool greenhouse or porch in winter. Outdoor figs can be protected with fleece or hessian, especially in colder parts of the country. Fruit buds are sensitive to frost, so protection in late winter and early spring may also help preserve next year's crop.
