The Southeastern Brown Turkey Fig is an improved variety which has increased resistances to sun, heat and humidity with vigorous and rapid growth. The flavor is reminiscent of sugary butterscotch with rich nectar emerging from the ripening fruit.

The leaves are quite large and contain a pleasant fragrance, but the beauty of having one of these in your landscape is what will truly grip you. They'll even conform well to container culture and make an exquisite living ornament on your patio.

Figs are very long lived, and the cuttings are easy to take root. They can be grafted or air layered, and the leaves also make an excellent crushed mulch for other plants. 

You'll have more fruit than you can harvest year after year. No orchard is complete without the fig growing within and it is an absolute must have.
