Brown Turkey Fig Tree – A Hardy Classic for Every Garden
Discover the delights of homegrown figs with our Brown Turkey Fig Tree. This classic variety, known for its cold-hardiness and succulent fruits, is a steadfast choice for both new and experienced gardeners.
Our Brown Turkey Fig Tree produces ample crops of large, richly flavored figs with a delightful sweet taste. The fruits boast an appealing reddish-brown skin that reveals a rosy, sweet pulp inside. These versatile figs are perfect for enjoying fresh off the tree or transforming into various culinary creations, from homemade preserves to delectable baked goods.
Anticipate a generous harvest from late summer into fall, adding a sweet note to your garden’s bounty. Despite its abundant yield, the Brown Turkey Fig Tree maintains a moderate size, making it perfect for small spaces, container growth, or as a standout addition to your garden landscape.
The Brown Turkey Fig Tree is also a resilient variety, showing resistance to common fig diseases and demonstrating hardiness in colder temperatures. Its self-fertile nature means there’s no need for a second tree for cross-pollination – a single tree will provide a bountiful harvest!
On top of its fruitful bounty, the tree showcases a stunning visual presence. Its dense, lobed green leaves contrast beautifully against the reddish-brown fruits, adding to its visual appeal.
Ideal for Fruitscaping™, adding a hardy element to your garden, or simply enjoying the satisfaction of nurturing and harvesting homegrown figs, our Brown Turkey Fig Tree is a great choice. Order today and look forward to a flavorful fig harvest, fresh from your garden.

Fruitscaping™ with Fig Trees
Embrace the joy of Fruitscaping™ with our Fig Trees. Among the simplest and most rewarding fruiting plants to grow, figs are an excellent addition to any organic garden. Their inherent disease resistance and few pest issues can be managed easily without the need for harsh chemicals, ensuring a bountiful, eco-friendly harvest.
Our Fig trees exhibit a diverse palette of flavors, textures, and ripening seasons. Some varieties possess thin skins with succulent centers evoking the flavor of rich maple syrup – a delight when savored fresh from the tree. Other varieties offer a naturally sweet texture, perfect for drying or turning into delectable preserves.
With their compact growth habit, fig trees are perfect for integrating into the shrubbery border, adding an attractive contrast with their broad, deeply lobed leaves. Consider pairing these distinctive trees with the elegant pomegranate and the fine-textured blueberry bushes for a stunning visual mix. Complement this arrangement with a lush undergrowth of strawberries, creating a cycle of blooming flowers, ripening fruit, and vibrant fall colors.
The young fig tree’s smooth, flexible trunk lends itself to creative gardening techniques. Train it into an espalier for a living wall, or twist it into a striking specimen tree. If you’re dealing with limited space, lay the trunk flat against the ground, and watch as the vertical shoots transform into a natural, green hedge.
Fig trees are also well-suited to container gardening. The root restriction of a pot often encourages the tree to produce even more prolific crops. So, if you’re an urban gardener or short on garden space, our fig trees will prove a perfect fit.
Embrace the ease and joy of Fruitscaping™ with Fig Trees. Enjoy the journey from planting and care to the sweet reward of your homegrown figs.

Before Your Plants Arrive: You can find many guides on unpacking, planting, & care, on our growing guides page.
The Journey From Our Nursery to Your Door: We NEVER ship our plants bare root. Your plant will travel in the very container in which it was nurtured. We thoroughly prune and water them before packing, and make sure they’re well wrapped to retain moisture during transit. It’s as though you’ve personally collected them from our nursery!
Choose Your Ship Date: We understand you’ll want to be available when your plant arrives. Our checkout process features a handy calendar that allows you to choose the Monday on which you want your plant to ship. Depending on your location, you’ll likely receive your plant by Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday of that week. Once shipped, UPS will generate a tracking number and send it to the email you provided. You can then follow your plant’s journey and ensure someone is available to unpack it on arrival day.
