The Brown Turkey Fig is probably the most popular fig in the southeastern United States. It is perfect if you want a sweet fruit that you can pick off the tree and eat fresh! The tree produces two crops a year, with figs ripening in early summer and again in late summer months. The figs are medium sized, sweet, and brownish-purple with an amber flesh. Brown Turkey Fig trees are self-pollinating and are hardy in Zones 7-9. Fig cultivars do not require more than 100 chill hours during the dormant season to promote normal vegetative and reproductive bud development. As a result, figs receive sufficient winter chilling in all areas of the southeast except South Florida. Fully dormant trees are hardy to about 15°F–20°F. Exposure of trees to low-temperature preconditions can increase cold hardiness. At maturity, it can reach a height and width between 15-25 feet. This tree is shipped in a #1 pot with an average height between 12-18 inches.
