Brown Turkey Fig ^10/10

Comments: -

I have two brown turkey figs. Both are in pots. One is having developing figs while the other was thought dead till it started to produce green buds and now leaves. Am very very estatic that it is alive and glad that I did not give up and bin it...It is from Fleming's nursery.

The other one is just another brown turkey fig tree from a normal nursery and was much cheaper.However, this brown turkey tree did far better than the Fleming's in terms of growth/development and in fact figs from both trees taste equally good.

Fig Black Genoa (Cutting)

Comments: -

I think it's a luxury to pick and eat figs from your backyard, and I'd love to try making fig jam once the trees are big enough to provide me with surplus fruits.

Fig Black Genoa (Grafted) ^8/10

Comments: -

This tree was the last of our deciduous trees to be planted and the first to produce a crop, taking only one year to come up with some very delicious, sweet and beautiful fruit.  A dark brown skin with pink pulp which is very attractive on a platter with some cheese and raisins.  Yum!!

Curiously, the fruit ripen only one or two at a time, so we can't have  a good feed of figs for ourselves and any visitors at the same time.  [Sorry, visitors!].

I'd like a second fig, but we don't yet have the room for one.  The site of the intended third orchard bed requires a lot of re-development (and money, sigh...) before we can get that started.  Either another Black Genoa or a Brown Turkey will suit us well.
