| Botanical Name | Ficus carica 'Brown Turkey' |
| Description | 'Brown Turkey' is one of the most popular figs for the South because of its incredible resilience and long harvest season. It produces sugary, amber-fleshed fruit that is excellent for fresh eating or canning. It is particularly well-suited for the Houston metro area as it can bounce back quickly from winter freezes and handles our summer humidity with ease. |
| Exposure | Full Sun |
| Height x Width | 10-15 feet tall x 10-15 feet wide |
| Water | Requires regular watering during the first few growing seasons. Once established, it is moderately drought-tolerant but produces better quality fruit with consistent moisture during the Willis summer. |
| Zones | 7 - 10 |
| Chill Hours | 100 - 200 hours |
| Harvest Time | June and August |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
