Tracy is right- they are extremely heavy feeders +2, LOL, and about water. The cooler coastal fogs help make the good crops of these in California.

I seem to recall some being over wintered by cutting back, stuffing some newspapers loosely rolled up and firmly tucked in and around the plants, then a large basket over them. Over that, hay or leaves, and then a secured tarp.

Sort of like over wintering a fig in really cold areas.
