The fig tree is one of the most popular Mediterranean plants in German gardens. But many still shy away from getting a fig tree in their own garden. After all, the winters in the Mediterranean are not nearly as cold as we are in the north. But you can still bring a fig tree in Germany well over the winter without it suffering any damage. The "how" is only important.
Mr. Schneider from the Schneider tree nursery in Berlin has published a very informative video with lots of tips and tricks. So he says that when you hibernate, not only is optimal packing important, but also the location of the plant. Especially in the northern part of Germany, a fig tree needs more protection than a plant in wine-growing areas in southern Germany.
If you want to give your plant the best possible winter protection, you should definitely watch the video.

Figs are small energy bombs. They contain a lot of fructose and roughage and give you power for the whole day. They also have a digestive effect.
My tip: It is best to eat dried figs. Here the concentration of the ingredients is significantly higher - just like the energy content and the effect.
