How are you plants overwintering so far?

In E. TN zone 7B I am doing fine with only very minor tip damage on my in ground fig trees and no sign of buds breaking but have several 60F days coming. My blueberries are trying to sprout and bloom early like last year when the blossoms were frozen back delaying harvest. How are you guys doing so far?

Looks like I lost a few plants to root rot from snow I assume. Had a few others, young plants, die back completely to the soil. I'm remaining hopeful they come back though

And its not over yet......

I just moved mine into direct sunlight since they never went dormant. We had hot weather all week, now it’s cold and windy. I hope they make it.

I am in NJ, zone 6b, and have kept my 25 or so mature fig trees mostly in my garage for the winter . They seem to be doing OK, but I will not know for sure until around mid-March when I should start seeing some new growth. I had also taken a large number of air layers from these trees last fall; they were all potted in 1/2 gal grow bags, and have been doing all right, kept in a walk-in basement that is around 50-55 degrees during the winter. Actually my air layers are all waking up, showing strong, active new growth already.

Gotta love air layering season
