I recently purchased a tiny Hardy Fig tree from a nursery, along with a dozen or so berry shrubs. Some of these had already broke dormancy and are starting to push out leaf growth. However, we haven't reached the last frost date yet in my area, and it will likely dip into the high 20sF some nights over the next week or two. These plants are all rated to -10F or worse, but that assumes they are fully dormant. What should I do with them in their current state? Are they likely to survive a frost unscathed? Or will the new growth die off? I haven't planted them yet, they are still in containers. I could leave them in my garage until frost risk is over, or leave them outside in the sun and bring them in on freezing nights.
Suggestions?
Btw these are goji, currants, gooseberries, elderberries, etc.
