I've not totally given up hope, but several of my shed kept figs appear to have died of extreme cold. While they were in a heated shed, I had a couple of issues. One night the heater did not come on (thermocube = junk), it got down to 12F. A couple of other nights the heater could not keep up, it got 16 - 18F.
Most of my trees made it -
Panachee (3 gallon and 2 gallon)
Chicago hardy (4 trees, all in 5-6 gallon buckets)
Paradiso JM (25 gallon)
LSU Scotts Black (3 gallon)
Corpus White Unk (5 gallon)
Brown Turkey (5 gallon)
These have not shown any life yet:
VdB (3 gallon & 1 gallon)
RdB (2 gallon)
Celeste (2 gallon)
Strawberry Verte (1 gallon)
I was surprised as VdB, RdB and Celeste are touted as hardy.
