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.

 

Red Love Apple Tree - It's GMO FREE

Red Love Apple Tree - Showing Red flesh

It's Dwarf, It's different, It's GMO free (Selection created by hard work), It's taste is like a granny smith even though the skin and flesh is red. It's the new Red Love Apple Fruit Tree.

Often backyard growers don't get an opportunity to grow new exciting varieties like this Red Love Apple. You might remember a certain "un-named plum" everyone wanted but was not available to backyard growers. In a good news story the team at Redlove Apple Australia have made it so Daleys Fruit Tree Nursery can deliver this apple tree bare root ( dormant stage with no leaves ) to your door and you can be part of the first people growing this very exciting new variety.
Climate: You do need some chill hours to produce apples so suitable climates are cool and warm temperate climates.
