fig tree is leafing out

fig tree leaves IMG_0349
Last year I bought a little fig tree to replace my previous tree that died last winter. Last year, I left the tree outside - very stupid of me. This year, I planted the tree in a large planter inside. Back in October or November it dropped all of its leaves. I was worried it was dead, but it is leafing out now. I'll take that as a sign of spring, even though that is a giant pile of snow outside the window.

I am in IL, I bring mine in, it drops its leaves and they come back, and I even have some small green figs. Very forgiving plant

what particular kind of fig tree is it?

Wow, that sure is an accelerated growth cycle. Here, our native figs don't start sprouting until much later.
