Grow Fig Trees in Cold Climates

Growing Figs in a Cold Climate?

You don’t need a greenhouse to grow figs in cold climates. You don’t need a sunny window.

You do need to protect them. There are many ways you can protect fig trees for the winter.

I hope this site helps you find the best way to grow figs in your space!

PS. Start by grabbing the free fig guide.

I’m Steven Biggs. I grow figs in Toronto, Canada. We get winter conditions. But I pick figs every year. I hope the articles here help you grow figs in a cold climate.

So I am now blaming my fig obsession on you, as I now have 7 fig trees with 8 more on the way!
