Description
Fig – Brown Turkey (Ficus carica 'Brown Turkey') is a charming deciduous tree that combines beauty with utility, producing delicious, coppery-bronze fruits with a plum-purple blush and pink-amber flesh. Ideal for fresh eating, cooking, or preserving, this fig ripens in early summer and thrives in full sun—especially in warmer climates where heat enhances fruit production. Its rounded form and lush, lobed green leaves make it as ornamental as it is productive.
Growing up to 20 feet tall and wide, Brown Turkey Fig is an excellent choice for edible gardens, landscapes, or large patio containers. It attracts birds while remaining generally unappealing to deer and requires only light maintenance, including late-winter pruning. Hardy in zones 6–8 and tolerant of average soils, this fruit-bearing tree offers seasonal interest and a sweet harvest—perfect for home gardeners seeking beauty and bounty in one.
