Ficus carica 'Brown Turkey' 14cm

Figs trees are highly attractive and deciduous with distinctive, lobed leaves and gnarled branches. 'Brown Turkey' produces medium sized, richly flavoured, sweet fruit that are oval in shape, have purplish tinged brown skin and pinkish brown flesh. The figs are produced for a long season from mid to late summer.

Use: Figs are highly ornamental plants that make an attractive specimen in any garden setting, are ideal for growing in containers and are perfect for espaliering. The fruit are ideal for eating fresh or dried and are perfect for making jam.

Care: Figs require a sunny position in moist, well drained soil.

Although they are tolerant of frost when established, they require protection when young. For best results apply mulch to restrict weed growth and to keep roots cool. Water well during the growing season and apply a fertiliser high in nitrogen in autumn.
