Benefits of Growing a Brown Turkey Fig Tree:

To ensure a bountiful harvest, plant your Brown Turkey Fig Tree in a location that receives at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. While fig trees can adapt to various soil conditions, they prefer slightly acidic, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Regular potting mixes also work well as long as they retain moisture and are well-aerated. During fruit development, consistent watering is crucial; monitor the soil moisture and water deeply when it feels dry to the touch. Mulching around the base of the tree helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. These plants are drought-tolerant once established. Fig trees can grow between 10 to 30 feet. Pruning is beneficial for maintaining the tree’s shape and encouraging fruit production.
