Fig - Ficus carica 'Brown Turkey' (Hardy Fig)
Ficus carica 'Brown Turkey' - a variety with two fruiting periods per year, notable for the distinctive, sweet-aromatic taste of its fruits and exceptionally high productivity. The fruits are reddish-purple, weigh 45-55 grams, and can be stored commercially ("long shelf life") or processed.
'Brown Turkey' fig was awarded by the Royal Horticultural Society with the "Award of Garden Merit".
Garden hardiness. It withstands temperatures down to -20°C without significant damage. Hardiness increases as the plant matures, the root system develops, and the branches thicken. It is recommended to protect the plants in the first years by wrapping them with microporous film (frost protection film, Agril-type film, etc.). Frost damage to the fig affects the aerial parts - but the roots remain alive, and the plant regrows in spring.
Disease and pest resistance. Figs are considered ‘pest free’.
Parthenocarpic variety - it is self-fertile and does not require a pollinator.
