Brown Turkey Fig - Ficus Carica 'Brown Turkey'

This small vigorous tree produces large to medium sized flavoursome fruit. It has lovely pink flesh and brown golden skin. The tree is a heavy bearer, self fertile and produces two crops annually. One in early summer and the second over autumn. This excellent flavoured fruit is perfect fresh but also used for drying and jams.

Comments: Fruit is susceptible to late frost damage. Two crops are produced per year. One in early Summer and another in late Autumn. Grows well in small areas preferring a warmer climate/ garden position. Root prune every few years with a sharp spade to achieve good results. Encourage new growth by removing 1 to 2 older branches. Lightly fertilise requires well drained soil in a sunny position. Drought tolerant and adaptable to a wide soil range from light sand to medium loams.
