Delicious Fruit Harvests Twice Each Year
Why Brown Turkey Fig Trees?
With the Brown Turkey Fig, you get twice the production. Because it grows two harvests each year, the Brown Turkey is unique and highly sought-after. The first crop is small and arrives in late spring or early summer. Later, your main harvest ripens in early fall and is considerably larger, offering the sweetest, richest flavor imaginable.
And it couldn’t be easier to grow. Your Brown Turkey Fig features the finest qualities of a traditional fig but it endures winters that would devastate most other fig trees and tolerates heat well, too. If your climate is outside its recommended growing zones, you can even grow it indoors.

Pollination Info
Brown Turkey Fig Pollination
Brown Turkey Figs are self-fertile. You will get fruit with only one plant. However, adding an additional Brown Turkey Fig will drastically increase the size of your crop.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant your Brown Turkey Fig in an area that receives full to partial sunlight (4 to 8 hours of sun daily). Brown Turkey Figs also prefer well-drained soil, though they are adaptable to a number of different soil types. If you plant in a container to keep indoors, place your Brown Turkey Fig Tree by a large sunny window.
Once you’ve selected your area, dig a hole that’s large enough to accommodate your tree’s root ball, place your tree, and backfill the surrounding soil. Water to settle its roots and mulch around the tree to preserve moisture. If you’re planting in a container, select a pot that’s about twice the width of your tree’s shipped container. Ensure the pot has drainage holes, use organic planting mix and place your tree. Finally, water the tree until you see water escaping the drainage holes at the bottom of your pot.
2. Watering: Typically, we recommend watering your tree once a week, or more frequently in drier, hotter climates. If you’re not sure when to water, check your soil about 3 inches down – if the soil is dry, water until it is moist or until you see water draining from your container.
3. Fertilizing: Brown Turkey Fig Trees will not usually need fertilizing, but if you notice slow growth, fertilize at the start of spring with a well-balanced blend, like 10-10-10.

United StatesCan't wait to get some delicious figs!
Got the tree, delivery was fast and tree was secure. I followed the included directions of digging a hole and planting it then watering it for 3 weeks to help the roots establish before winter. I've already got some new leaves coming out and I'm so excited to have a big beautiful tree full of figs!
United Statesfruit bearing
As always, superior packing and fast shipping. Fruit on one tree was delicious, the other hasn't fruited yet. I had to put them in a 5 gallon bucket until I get My back yard septic in, they seem to be doing ok for now. They even threw in a Meyer Lemon, that doesn't ship to Florida...no biggie. The Fl Dept of Ag caught it, destroyed and quarantined. The Ag dept was friendly, didn't act like your typical "G" Man and understood it wasn't on purpose on either end.
United StatesIt was brown turkey fig gift!
Ordering was so easy and my friend was so excited to get a brown turkey fig tree. She had never had a fig and when her family visited mine and she had her first brown turkey fig, she loved it. Then when she opened the box to her very own she was a very happy lady!!
United StatesArrived in great condition
Tree smaller than expected. Start to finish good purchase
United StatesWell packaged - I hope they make is
I ordered two BTF trees. They arrived quickly and appeared to be well secured in the packaging. I planted them quickly; however, they immediately began showing signs of shock. With the leaves turning yellow and eventually most of them falling off. I am so excited for these trees - I hope they make it.
