Ficus carica

Experience the joy of homegrown produce with the Fig Brown Turkey, a versatile and highly productive variety perfect for any garden. This fig is not only delicious when eaten straight from the tree but also a fantastic addition to salads or cheese platters. The riper the fig, the sweeter its flavor, making every harvest a delight.
Fig Brown Turkey often bears two crops annually, with the second crop extending into autumn. It produces purple-brown fruit with sweet pink flesh during summer, providing a bountiful and flavorful yield. Thriving in Australia's 'Mediterranean' climate, this variety is ideal for most backyards due to its manageable size and adaptability.
Plant in well-drained soils with full sun exposure for the best results. While mature trees are cold and frost-tolerant, young plantings should be protected until they are fully established. Once settled, this hardy tree requires minimal maintenance and is recognized as one of the toughest fig varieties.
Although Fig Brown Turkey prefers warm, dry conditions, it appreciates ample watering during fruit development. An annual application of fertilizer in winter will help maintain its health and productivity. Be prepared to protect your fruit from birds when the tree begins to bear.
