>>1323416Maybe you can take a cutting and get it to root (takes a while with figs, like 1-2 months, and it's best to do it with a humidity dome - also several ones, as the success rate isn't that high), then plant that in the ground, this way you don't lose anything and can experiment around.
I don't have to protect at all here in 8a so far (then again it hasn't dropped below -10°C in 6 years), so if you're 7a or so, it could work with some protection
