Brown Turkey fig is a multi-stemmed, woody, deciduous shrub with edible fruit in the mulberry family (Moraceae). This fig cultivar was bred to be more cold hardy than other fig cultivars.
Grow figs in full sun in organically rich, well-drained, moist soils that are neutral to acidic. Figs do not tolerate alkaline soils. Light pruning each winter may be necessary to maintain an attractive shape. Flowers and fruit will appear on either old or new growth. Mulch roots to maintain moisture and especially in the fall to protect them throughout the winter. 'Brown Turkey' requires protection from winter temperatures below 10 degrees F.
This plant produces fruits without the need of pollination, so multiple plants are not required. It is one of the most popular figs grown in the United States with two harvests of its edible fruit each year, one in the late spring to early summer, and the second in the late summer to early fall. The fruits are enjoyed fresh or dried.
