Fig tree (Ficus carica 'Brown Turkey') - 2-liter pot

The 'Brown Turkey' fig tree is an easy-to-grow, productive tree/shrub with sweet, tender figs that ripen from late summer to autumn. It has a compact growth habit (2-3 m), making it suitable for smaller gardens and potted plants. It also boasts beautiful, large green leaves that add character to your garden, patio, or balcony. The harvest is abundant, and the fruits are delicious eaten fresh or used in desserts. It prefers a sunny location in well-drained, fertile soil. Winter protection is recommended in colder climates. The Brown Turkey is self-pollinating and often produces multiple harvests per season.

Tips and care

• Planting : September to March. Planting outside this season is also possible, but provide extra water in warm weather until the roots are well established.
• Growth habit : Grows naturally as a small tree; no support is required.
• Pruning : Prune in the fall. Heavy pruning is usually not necessary, especially in the first few years. If the plant becomes too large or the yield decreases, you can prune it back lightly.
• Open ground or pot: Figs do well in pots, but the larger the pot, the better. In the open ground, they usually grow faster and produce more fruit.
