Brown Turkey Fig Tree 7G

Brown Turkey Fig Tree in 7-Gallon Pot available in Jupiter, FL.

Sweet, soft, and homegrown with ease—the Brown Turkey Fig Tree (Ficus carica 'Brown Turkey') in a 7-gallon pot is a must-have for fruit lovers in South Florida. Known for its mild, honeyed flavor and smooth, brownish-purple skin, this fig variety is one of the most reliable and productive types for backyard growers. Its compact size and fast growth make it ideal for containers, small yards, or edible landscapes.

The 7-gallon size offers a strong, healthy tree already primed to take off in your garden or on your patio.

Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

• Sunlight: Needs full sun—aim for 6–8 hours daily for vigorous growth and the sweetest fruit.

• Watering: Water deeply and consistently during the growing season, especially while fruiting. Reduce in winter when the tree goes semi-dormant.

• Soil: Prefers well-drained soil, enriched with organic compost. Tolerant of a wide range of soils but dislikes overly wet conditions.

• Fertilizer: Use a balanced fertilizer (e.g. 10-10-10) 2–3 times annually. Over-fertilization may lead to fewer fruits and excessive leaf growth.

• Growth Habit: A compact, bushy tree with large, lobed leaves and a broad canopy. In a 7-gallon pot, trees are typically 3–5 feet tall, with the potential to grow 10–15 feet in-ground.

• Temperature: Grows best in USDA Zones 8–11. South Florida’s warmth allows for near year-round growth. Some leaf drop may occur in winter.

• Maintenance: Low. Prune in late winter or early spring to shape and manage size. Figs do best with good airflow and space between branches.

Fruit Notes: Produces medium to large, teardrop-shaped figs with reddish-brown skin and soft, pinkish-amber flesh. Flavor is sweet and mild—great fresh, dried, or in preserves. Bears two crops a year in warm climates like South Florida.
