Not sure Olympian figs are alive

7 years ago

I have two Olympian figs that I purchased at Lowes last summer. They were about 3 feet tall after the summer and I put them in my garage with no protection for the winter. A few times I put a shovel of snow on the soil surface and that is about all I did. Whey we took them out of the garage about a month and a half ago, they had visible brown dead parts of the branches. I trimmed those down and when trimming, saw a faint green color. I repotted them in potting mix, compost and kelp meal with a little osmocote. That was 2 weeks ago and so far-nothing. I am afraid that they are not alive, so when Lowes got their figs in this year, I bought two White Marseilles. They are potted up. One thing I want to ask about the White Marseilles are: They have little black spots on some of the leaves. Is this something I need to worry about? I am in NE Ohio, USDA zone 6a. I am trying to plan ahead and wonder if these figs should come into the house this winter. I realize that each variety probably has different needs. Can anyone tell me what they know about each variety, and how best to care for them in the future?
