Insignificant flowers form in late spring and early summer.The masses of pear-shaped fruits which follow are green to begin with, ripening to red-brown and become ready to pick in late summer and early autumn, ready for you to enjoy the sweet and juicy dark-red flesh. Ficus carica originates from Syria and Persia in the middle east and has been grown in the UK since Roman times. Self-fertile, a beautiful statement piece for your garden, or alternatively, this amazing variety can even be grown indoors.Also known as Ficus 'Italian Brown', Ficus carica 'Brown Turkey' is a prolific fruiter and has been given the RHS Award of Garden Merit for outstanding performance.
