My sister lived on a farm a little farther North where they stacked straw bales around the figs to protect them. I've even heard of people digging a trench next to the plant and tipping the whole thing over to cover it with soil.

My plants started from cuttings off of a big tree at the university where I used to work. It is growing in a South facing courtyard surrounded by brick walls and thrives there with no extra protection.
