The Brown Turkey Fig tree, also know as an Aubique or the Negro Largo, is an exception to the usual hot-blooded Mediterranean types of figs. There are many options for harvesting these medium-sized sweet figs. You can bake with them, dehydrate and dry them for year-round storage, eat them fresh or with honey, and fruit salad. You name it! The Brown Turkey fig trees are an easy to grow fruit tree and the brownish-purple fruit are sure to please the tasting senses. This cold-hardy variety displays all of the best traits of a common fig including the magnificently shaped light-green leaves, smooth gray bark, and yummy edible purple-brown fleshed fruit. Contrastingly, unlike other brown figs, it will survive winters in a variety of climates. The Brown Turkey fig tree is cold hardy in USDA hardiness zones 7-9 making it great for the southern United States. This attractive deciduous garden fig tree has an interesting winter appearance because it loses some of its leaves in freezing temperatures. Not to worry though, as soon as temperatures start rising again the fig leaves flush out to fill in its appearance. The dormant season for growing figs is short since these trees only produce fruit in the south. You can even plant this fig tree in a container if you live in an area with cold, harsh winters. Just bring inside during the winter months!
