The Carbeth Plants Ficus Carica Brown Turkey is an ideal choice for home gardeners looking to cultivate their own edible fruit in a controlled environment, such as a conservatory or a sunny, sheltered patio. This robust fig tree is prized for its ability to produce delicious, sweet fruit during the autumn months; however, prospective growers should be aware that as a deciduous plant, it enters a dormant phase between November and May, during which it will be leafless.

You can expect the tree to break dormancy and sprout new leaves as the weather warms up, typically starting in late spring around May.
While the tree is hardy, it is best kept in a sheltered, frost-free area during winter, especially if it is being grown in a container.
Repotting is generally recommended every two years or when the roots begin to grow out of the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot.
Brown Turkey figs are self-fertile, meaning they do not require another tree or special pollination to produce fruit.
A fertile, well-draining potting mix is ideal for fig trees in containers; adding a bit of grit can further improve drainage.
This is normal. The Ficus Carica is deciduous and is currently in its natural winter dormancy period.
Ensure the tree is receiving maximum sunlight and warmth. Move it to a more sheltered or brighter location if possible.
This is often a sign of overwatering or poor drainage. Ensure the pot has drainage holes and allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again.
Upon arrival, ensure you transplant your Ficus Carica into a slightly larger pot with good-quality, well-draining potting compost if it has outgrown its 2-litre container. Place the tree in the sunniest spot available, ideally where it receives at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight. During the active growing months, apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every two to three weeks to encourage fruiting. Pruning should be done in late winter while the tree is still dormant to maintain a manageable size and open up the center for better light penetration. Check the soil moisture frequently, as container plants dry out faster than those planted in the ground.
