Fig - St. Dominique de Viollette (Cutting)

Comments: -

Is an Heirloom variety of French origin. Has Violet coloured fruit with pink flesh, and supposedly excellent flavour.

At the moment (Sept.), the current leaves are lobe-less unlike my other figs, and look similar to mulberry leaves (I guess they are in the same family.) Maybe as plant grows, leaves will look more typical fig like.

Comments: -

I purchased this tree from Daleys only a few weeks ago and it is already fruiting at less than a metre high! Nearly 10 figs I have counted, which is more than the leaves that are on the tree! Not sure whether they will drop or not, but I am quite astounded. Arrived in excellent condition, growing in large pot. 

Update: all but 2 figs dropped. But these 2 are almost full sized :)

Fig - Brown Turkey (Cutting)

Comments: -

My Grand-parents used to grow a variety of figs when I was a girl, and I remember me and one of my cousins stuffing ourselves with them every year. I don't think this was one of the varieties I used to eat, but by all accounts are delicious.

It's nearing the end of winter, and the tree is putting out new growth including some small figs ( I can definitely see at least 4)- hope they grow!

I'll most likely keep this plant in a pot - the roots can be invasive and I'm too lazy to do root pruning each year in addition to regular pruning

This one is easily the fastest grower out of the 4 varieties I have.

Fig - Brown Turkey

Comments: -

Not much fruit for the first couple of years - due to birds getting them.  2009 saw us put up some 'holocaust owls' and we got quite a few figs, if we kept an eye on them. At the latter part of the year the birds were starting to get at them, so we netted it. 

Unfortunately, this fig tree has now died - it rotted out at the base - cause unknown
