I have Euphorbia Triangulata cuttings for trade. Great cactus like plant that can grow very large or be kept small.

I had a brown turkey and didn't like it, gave it away. The other figs in my yard, 6 varieties, I love them all. I bought the tree from a local nursery. At the same nursery, they told me their American Persimmon seedlings were self pollinating (they are not) and that there are no variety names for persimmons or paw paws because they are also seedling grown (not true). They also sold Kiwi, claiming them to be productive, but no male varieties were being sold. So who knows the origin of that Brown Turkey. Most of my other fig trees were grown from cuttings someone sent to me, from their trees that bore figs they liked. I think that's a great way to know that at least someone, somewhere, really liked the fig that you are growing. Even so, the same fig grown in another climate, another soil, another sun exposure, might taste and bear very different. Just my 2 cents on this issue. I would still grow Brown Turkey if it was the only one around. I would also try it again, if the source was reliable and they really liked their fruit, especially if local, so grown in conditions similar to mine.

Mac- Just read your posting/question. The short and sweet answers...Yes, and containerized growing could be easy, but a containerized fig tree is NOT "care free". You must consistently provide everything that the tree will need. It would be like growing a houseplant....with the same routines of watering feeding, etc. You don't say in your posting what you will do to over-winter the tree. Containerized trees need more protection from deep freezing as opposed to in-ground trees because of the restricted roots. Most growers will over-winter their trees in an unheated garage, etc. Posted on this forum, and on Figs4Fun, are scores of threads that address your questions in greater detail. Read everything you can, and then you can decide if a containerized fig is the way to go. All my figs are containerized, and I have had great success growing them since 2007, however they CANNOT be neglected. Also, while the "Brown Turkey" fig will do well, even at its best, will produce a blander, milder-tasting fig than some other varieties, which is fine, but there are better choices. I would opt for a good size "Black Mission" or "Hardy Chicago" before the "BT". The figs from these two varieties will taste far richer, have a more complex flavor profile, and, they'll do just as well in Zone-8, with protection. Both are available in garden centers and through mail order nurseries. Try: 'Ison's Nursery', 'Rabbit Ridge Nursery', 'Durio Nursery', 'Almost Eden Nursery', 'Petals From the Past', 'Burnt Ridge Nursery'...stay away fro "Ty Ty" aka "Arron's" and "Willis Orchards"...both are famous for sending mislabeled trees, and for having lousy customer service. Hope this helps. Grow a fig tree. It's the only fruit tree that will give you almost instant success. Frank

Hello ayyubaddeen, What is the name of the nursery you got your Brown Turkey tree from? I got a Brown Turkey tree from Just Fruits and Exotics and the little figs have green eyes still. The leaves look a lot like your tree's leaves. My tree is still a little baby and the leaves aren't as large, or as dark green as your tree's leaves are. noss
