Ficus carica 'Brown Turkey'

Fig

'Brown Turkey' Common Fig is one of the hardiest of the edible Figs, but since it is truly a zone 7 plant, it will need plenty of protection to avoid being killed to the ground in our winters. It is worth the effort, as the purple-brown fruit is delicious. Ficus 'Brown Turkey' fruits on new growth and if started early in a warm spot will produce ripe figs by August and September. The foliage is large, coarse and dramatic, with a subtle and attractive scent when brushed. In order to get more fruit earlier, you can put a wire cage filled with straw or leaves around the plant in late fall to protect the branches. 'Brown Turkey' also performs well as a summer container plant.
