Over wintering indoors / Dormancy

19 years ago

Hello everyone. I am new to the forum. I have been reading it for a few weeks now and am getting much needed info. Thanks to all for that. I do have a question regarding over wintering. Does a fig tree need to go dormant (drop leaves, etc.) to produce fruit. I plan on taking a cutting from a bush I have planted in the yard and potting it up to bring inside. do I need to put it in the basement for the winter as stated in other posts or can I treat it as a house plant and keep in a my living room by well lit window? I have had the bush in my yard for about 9 years after digging it from my dads yard when he passed away. I have never gotten fruit from it but then again, I have never wrapped it for the winter. It is on the south west corner of my house and gets plenty of sun. At least 6 hrs. a day. I am in centeral Suffolk County, Long Island.

Thanks in advance to all who take the time to read this and respond.

p.s. How would I go about posting a picture to this post?
