Brown Turkey Fig Trees

Brown Turkey Figs just picked

Buying a Fig brown turkey fruit tree variety will get you hooked on Figs. Yes you
need to pick them at the perfect time but when you do you will nod
your head and say "WOW"

They can be grown in Arid, Temperate and Subtropical climates and as
they lose their leaves in Winter they can handle frosts down to -2
degrees.

Yes to growing and fruiting in pots and you only need one to set fruit.

A full sun position is recommended and make sure when planting you
mound up your planting size height 50-80cm for good drainage.

They don't need much water except when the fruit is growing in early
summer. BUT heavy rain just as they ripening can cause the fruit to
split open ruining your crop.

In the ground it will grow 2-5m but in a pot with root restriction
they should stay under 2m.

Adventurous Ideas: Espalier them :) Dry them, Make Jams.

 

Why Figs taste different each season - Gooey Figs

Gooey Figs taste a lot better when you get a hot dry summer in the subtropics. Emulating an arid climate will produce fig trees with a lot less moisture because they can stay on the fig tree for a lot longer without cracking opening and ruining or being picked early.

Very nice, very sweet.
That's sweet.
It's Summer here, the middle of summer and we are just picking the first of our Figs.
So this Fig is our Dwarf Brown Fig and you can see it has this beautiful light pale skin.
and this lovely pale flesh as well and it's a really sweet fig this so it's delicious eaten fresh off the tree a really lovely fruit.
That's very nice.
and the Dwarf Brown Fig only grows to about 2-3m.
So if you are in a small urban block or only have a little space for a Fig this Dwarf Brown Fig is a great choice for you.
It's also perfect for growing in pots so if you are growing it in a container use a really good quality potting mix. 
and keep the moisture up to it during the growing Season.
So while it's in full leaf and fruiting and growing you will need to maintain even moisture in your pot.
In the ground give it a Sunny position and good drainage and you will be picking these beautiful Figs in about 2 years.
What did you think of that?
It's quite sweet isn't it.
These are our stock plants so I just wanted to show you how we grow these. There are a lot of people who are patiently waiting for the Dwarf Brown Fig and with slow growing plants such as these we take a batch of cuttings and then we grow them on to have established stock trees.
So from these potted plants and there is about 30 or 40 here we're taking cuttings and it's the cuttings from these plants which we will sell to you.
So we take these at 2 times during the year we take them during the growing Season so during the Summer months while they are actively growing we take Softwood cuttings and then again in the Winter we take Hardwood cuttings and they're done as deciduous cuttings we root and then grow on in the Spring.
Mmmm yeah
Nice?
mmmm

Figs the size of Pears, But Why? Breba Black Genoa Fig Trees

Breba Figs are the size of Pears
Question: Why are these figs the size of a Pear?
Answer: Our first figs for the season are a breba crop of Fig Black Genoas Fruit Trees - and what beauties they are too. They can be 2-3 times larger because the breba crops develop in spring on last years wood and will be followed by the main crop in summer (normal size) on this season growth.

Fig Trees That are Cutting Grown are Best

When it comes to figs getting a known variety such as the Fig Tree - Black Genoa makes so much sense. They are a great pot plant because with root restriction they stay small but also "Freak Out" and start fruiting very early. Also when it comes to figs there are so many varieties. That is why when you get a cutting grown one from Daleys you know that the size, taste will be quality. Also you know that they will crop well.

Here is an example of the Fig Tree that we send to peoples homes across Australia.
