Do you remember the variety you bought? You say cool dark area, is the area heated or unheated and what temperature is it down there? I only water my dormant potted trees once or max twice during their dormancy. All of my potted trees have figs/leaves on them. As a matter of fact they are all outside at this point. I ask so many questions because I am on Long Island also.

I have 3 that broke dormancy weeks after my others, so it may be slow to break. I shuffled mine in and out for the last 4 weeks or so. I am in MA with a micro climate for the figs. It may just be slow to break.

I don't remember what variety it is. The coolest it would get would be about 55 degrees. I only watered it once when it was dormant. I've recently seen new stubs on the tree so it appear to be growing, but still no leaves. I put it outside in the beginning of May. I keep waiting for it to bud.

I have a negronne that is leafing out but others just have the buds that are slowly growing. Its just been too cold and overcast. Its just waking up slowly.
