A coworker and I were talking about Ficus in general, and he was
saying that a friend of his has two gigantic Ficus that are as healthy
as he has ever seen.

This person with the ultra healthy Ficus keeps them outside in Ohio
until all the leaves fall off. According to him this is well into
November, and you can bet these trees see frost


It would helpful to know the variety of these Ficus. I grow the edible Figs
outdoors here in Florida and have seen the in North Central Florida where
they would get freezing temperatures every year. They would lose all their
leaves and come back in the spring.
