Garden hardiness. It withstands down to -30°C without significant losses. Hardiness increases as the plant matures, the root system develops, and the branches thicken. It is recommended to protect the plants in the first years by wrapping them with microporous film (anti-frost film, Agril-type film, etc.). Frost cases in fig trees cause damage to the aerial parts – but the root remains alive, and the plant regrows in spring.
