Fig Tree – Ficus carica Brown Turkey
A gorgeous little fig tree, it is of fruiting size, so if you have restricted space and have always wanted a fig tree, then this is for you. It would also make an ideal gift, and if you don’t want to restrict it in a pot, you can simply plant it out in the garden, and allow it to grow into a full size tree.Brown Turkey is widely regarded as one of the toughest, hardiest and easiest varieties to grow in the UK, providing reliable crops of delicious fresh figs, that of course if you had to buy them in the shops would cost a small fortune. With highly ornamental glossy, palmate leaves, it will do best when grown in a south or south-west facing aspect where it will produce its abundant crop of purple-brown, pear-shaped fruit with red flesh. These figs are rich and sweet and suitable for picking from August to September after long hot summers in particular. An interesting and easy plant to grow, and one of the oldest fruits in cultivation.Supplied in approx 2-3 litre containers.
