Care
Brown Turkey Fig Trees thrive in well-draining soil and require regular watering, especially during dry periods. They should be pruned in late winter to promote new growth. Mulch should be placed around the base to maintain moistness and shield the roots from extreme temperatures. Fertilize the trees annually in early spring.
Plant Reproduction
Brown Turkey Fig Tree spreads by root suckers and seeds
Plant fruit trees in early spring or late fall when the weather is cool. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice the width of the roots and double as deep as the root system. When the tree is put in the hole, make sure the graft union (a noticeable bump where the tree was grafted above the rootstock) is above the soil line. Put dug-out soil around the tree roots, gently firmly remove air pockets, and water thoroughly.
Water young trees regularly, especially during dry spells, to establish a robust root system. Once established, water deeply and less frequently. Prune fruit trees yearly during the dormant season to remove dead or diseased wood, improve air circulation, and shape the tree for optimal fruit production. Fertilize in early spring and thin the fruit when necessary to prevent overbearing, which can stress the tree and reduce fruit quality.
