Ficus Brown Turkey Tree | Deciduous Potted Fig Trees for Small Gardens & Borders | Straight Standard Stem (70-80cm (Incl. Pot))

• Ficus 'Brown Turkey' are spreading ornamental trees which display large glossy, palmate leaves. Commonly known as fig trees, they produce rich and sweet fruits which become available for picking from August to September - if the Summer weather is humid enough. Trained into a ‘lollipop’ single stem, these Ficus trees are perfect to sit solitary in small gardens, patios, borders or mixed containers.
• Be sure to plant in moderately fertile, well-drained soil and position in full sun or partial shade to give it the best opportunity to thrive. The tree requires frequent watering until it has been established in its new environment, then just average watering after it's settled in. Be sure not to over-hydrate and make sure the tree doesn't dry out.
• Due to the trees hardy and bushy structure, fig trees are fairly low maintenance. It’s recommended to prune in Spring when all chance of frost has past to encourage fresh, variegated growth for the following season. Remove any frost-damaged branches and trim all shoots back to five or six leaves.
• Fig Trees are valued all year round for their stunning display of leaves, foliage and fruits. Emerging in Spring with maturing shades of green before entering their flourishing season during Summer where these bright colours take over the tree - this gives it a fresh and vibrant look. Coming into Autumn, the figs will finally begin to appear. Then, due to being deciduous, the tree will lose its leaves over their dormant Winter stage.

Ficus 'Brown Turkey' ornamental trees present nutritious figs which can grow up to 10cm in length - at first green, then purple when ripe. These trees are perfect to situate in vibrant borders, patios or small gardens. Optimum height and spread will vary, but generally can reach up to 300cm. Be sure to plant in a full sun location with sand, chalk or loam, well-drained and moist soils. These bushy trees should be sheltered for protection and make sure to prune back during Spring to ensure stronger growth rates for years to come. During the Winter months, it is recommended to cover the tree with a blanket or frost fleece - this will keep them warm and safe throughout the season.
