The “Brown Turkey” fig ( Ficus carica ‘Brown Turkey’) is a popular fig variety known for its sweet, medium-sized, brown-skinned figs. It is a deciduous shrub or small tree with large, lobed leaves. It can be grown from seeds, though it’s easier to grow from cuttings. Brown Turkey figs are typically self-fertile, meaning they don’t require pollination from another tree to produce fruit. They are also known for producing two harvests per year, one in the spring and another in the late summer.
