Thank you Cinda, that is reassuring. I just felt like it's early for leaf loss since it's still nice and hot out. But I guess early to fruit, early to go dormant...
Yes last year was I let them stay outside for one frost around November, and then brought them to the garage. When they were in the garage, I just left them there until April without when temperatures were consistently above freezing. I gave them no water and no light all winter! However, I pruned them at some point in mid-winter.
