It should be just fine. I’d say keep it well watered, but I think Mother Nature is taking care of that for you.

My FIL grew it from a sapling about two years ago and I’d hate to think that all his work is going to be lost.


It should bounce back. Fertilize when you see new growth. Mine dies down to the ground every year and leafs out by June

I had to literally saw through and cut the main root off when it grew through the pot and down into the ground. We were moving so no choice. Somehow mine is still going strong! Wishing your fig tree the very best.

Besides protecting it from whatever is eating it should I do anything special to increase the chances?

Thank you so much.
