The best and most reliable fig variety for the British climate. This will produce lots of delicious fruit with a sugary rich red flesh.
It will be happiest planted against a south facing wall or fence. You should try growing it in a large pot or tub, to help contain the root, restrict the size of the tree and encourage heavy fruit cropping.

Fig 'Brown Turkey' reviews
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Jeannette New leaves appearing and looks healthy. Hoping for a fig or two next year perhaps |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Jane Fantastic - Thriving, very pleased |
Very happy with healthy, strong plant
Reviewed 19th May 2017 by Ann I had to wait for approx. 2 weeks for the plant to arrive, but it was worth the wait. The plant arrived in a very good condition, well packaged and had new shoots from the tree. Once out of the box and in the sunny spot in our garden, the shoots are growing - and growing really fast. So far, so good...looking forward to eat my first home-grown fig this autumn! |
