I'm still interested in how the mummy wrap works. I used to talk with fig gardeners who used raincoats to cover their girls in the cold; apparently that's an old Italian growing trick. And some had them in pots so they could have them go dormant in an unheated garage. (Few took them into a greenhouse or living area.) We both lived in zone 7. Too lazy to deal with pots or babying the ladies, I left any one over a year old in the ground outside. Without a coat or blanket or leaf cage. some I lost (always had replacement baby figlets inside just in case) but most often I won. (Not the year Reagan's inaugural was held inside. Brrrrrr! Everybody save "Blackie" did fine; she died to her roots but rallied in the spring.)
