The listing, Brown turkey fig has ended.
This will be a cutting from my brown turkey fig bush which produces two crops a year. The first crop in the spring,the figs are fist size and larger very sweet. The second crop are all normal size.
Do you fertilize spring which may make them larger or is this just the type? These are AMAZING !!. And I do love me some fig jam.. My mom passed away and this was one of our summer projects. I still do it just because..miss that.
I never fertilize any more I did for the first 5 years. The bush is 25 years old now and bears wonderfully. I do love the big ones! One will fill a pint jar with jam.
They are the best fig I've ever tasted - they are very juicy and light textured. The super big ones are so tender you have to monitor their growth daily or they will split before you get them, a bit time consuming but sooo worth it!
I have a kennel so I am home every day. As well as having guardianship of my 3 grandchildren 4, 7 ,10 presently so we stay busy in our berry beds. Blueberry , thornless blackberries and several Japanese fuyu persimmons that produced rather overwhelmingly last year. I got 5 - 5 gallon buckets of seedless persimmons. I lost quite a few , I had so many. I had fertilized them the year before and they fruited and fell off so, I learned NOT to do that again. Then, this year it was like the fertilizer was programmed for this year. I was hit so hard with so many we had to build boxes around the tree to keep the limbs from breaking.. and they are Amazing.. you eat them just colored and hard like an apple.. OMgoodness.. Never had a fruit quite like these and very quik growers.. yet, seedless.. did not find a seed one. . Cannot wait to get this bare rooted. So much that we bought 2 additional trees after I bid on this one just in case I am out of pocket and lose it..? I am busy with dogs and my husband is in from offshore right now so we stay busy..but, watching it close..
I hope the weather breaks and the soil warms a bit so I can get the shovel in to get the cutting out. However this is the best time to transplant. No sap in the bush and when spring hits the cutting should grow like crazy if you plant it near a water source. My washer water flood out about 3 ft from the trunk and I never have to water it.
