| I live outside of Philadelphia, PA and I have a brown turkey fig tree. Every Fall I usually wrap it with burlap to protect it for the Winter. This year I
wrapped it with a blue tarp, just the limbs not the trunk of the tree. The tree is very large. Do you think that is enough protection for the fig tree or do I need to wrap the trunk too? Any thoughts would be appreciated! |

| Hi, angelalisa: I would wrap the trunk too as I'd never fignewbies |

| I would trim the tree to a manageable size then use the burlap first then the tarp. The burlap would help to keep it warmer while the tarp would keep it dry and stop the wind. Cover from the ground all the way to the top. Also with the trimmings you can share them with friends or start new trees for yourself. Good Luck! |
