fig plant over winter?

 I got a fig plant last year ,similar size to yours.

 I dug a hole 2ftx2ft x2ft deep,I then lined the 4 sides with paving slabs and put
 
 bricks in the bottom to a depth of about  8 inches ( this will restrict the roots ),they will just

 go through the hessian bag, or use a large plant pot,the fig is against a south facing wall.

 I then planted the fig and filled the hole so the roots were just below soil level.

 With being enclosed on 5 sides you have to watch the soil doesn't dry out.

 The leaves of mine have nearly all gone , I will put window frames around it to protect from   

 the wind  and frost,or fleece if you have any.

  I didn't have any figs this year but am hoping for some next year.

 Cheers Carl

My brown turkey fig is in a large pot by the house wall & has been for the last 7 years, seems to survive without any fleece or anything.

Hmmmm good question, I assumed the bag would let the water in/out but not the roots....hmmmm I clearly was sleep deprived when I planted it!
Tomorrow - if the ground is not frozen, it will be dug up and given some TLC, I didnt realised the baby figs would be on now for next years figs....I doubt mine has any tiny figs as the hens got at it!
I have my eye on a lovely glazed pot it can live in against the house south facing back wall, nice and warm there and no hens!

Thanks guys,

I read on the tag about digging the hole and lining with slabs but I didnt have the strength to dig a huge hole!

poor fig! dug it up and yes, your rigt the green fabric bag had holes in the bottom but it was one big bag of muddy water sloppy....yak!
I have shifted the fig into a pot and put it against a south facing wall to get the last of the sunshine for the year then will find in somewhere warm for the winter.
I dont think its chances are good!
