Cool Temperate - Figs, Mulberrys & Hawthorns

Figs, Mulberrys & Hawthorns

FIGS
£16.00 container grown, self-fertile.

Brown Turkey

Probably the hardiest fig for outdoors, or inside the greenhouse. The most reliable cropping variety for UK conditions.

In the winter of 2010-2011 only the Brown Turkey survived, and then only the larger specimens. All my other varieties perished completely.

I will restock with other varieties in years to come but not just yet, as I'm aware that extreme weather events often come in pairs.
