Growing the Brown Turkey Fig Tree

Tips, Tricks

1. I live in north Florida . I planted 2 Brown Turkish Figs this late summer . Last night the temperature went down into the low 30s and the leaves on my Fig Trees turned brown . They were doing great till last night . Will they survive the winter and still fruit next summer ? Great video by the way .
2. Any recommendation on a good time to prune the suckers and get them potted? I have 3 suckers on my Turkey Brown that also have figs on them. No doubt after I harvest the fruit, but should I wait until spring or as soon as I harvest the fruit? On a side note, this is my first fig tree I got this tree from Gurney's this past spring and it was a 3' stick with a root ball. I planted it in a recyclable shopping bag (aka Walmart grow bag system) and it just took off. I have since planted it in a pot and plan to keep it that way, but also want to grow fig trees in the yard. I live in zone 7A. Thanks!

10. I just planted a couple of brown turkey fig trees in my backyard. I made sure they are in a location to receive plenty of sun and also used Miracle Gro quick start Transplant starting solution and Cow Manure. Can you give me any tips on what to do from here on out to make sure they grow to be large healthy trees? Thank You!
11. amazing...............
12. Excellent video, thx for the share. You said you feed, what is your fertilizer plan for this tree?  I have one and its producing well now but want to stay on top of it.  Thanks again for sharing your experience this was well done.
13. My turkey fig has no trunk. We have 10-12 branches that are all ground level that produce fruit. In the winter the branches die off and new branches come in the next season, but no trunk...Why?
14. does figs grows in tropical weather?
15. If the tree loses its leaves it is a deciduous tree. Those that keep their leaves are evergreens.
16. I just bought a house with a beautiful brown turkey fig, but the previous owners let it grow too much. It is 15 years old and 20 feet tall. My husband and I would prefer it to be smaller since it takes up the whole back yard. Also this video makes a good point about flies and not being able to get to all the fruit. Question: would cutting the tree in half (to 8 feet as suggested) be harmful? We wouldn't want to lose such a pretty and mature tree. 
17. Question I have a new bought Brown turkey fig tree but the leaves are all turning brown and falling off.  I know to wait till around November to transplant it but is there anything I can do to stop the leaves from turning brown?
18. Good Idea; Cut or trim back to 8 feet tall. I think I will try that. Thanks.- - - Key man
19. I have a two year old turkey fig and I have it in a huge pot,  100 lbs. I live in Colorado and bring it in the house after cutting it back at the start of winter so it doesn't freeze the roots,  I give it 2 cups of water a month and when winter is over I use a dolly to move it back outside,  I keep my tree well pruned so it stays kinda small so I don't get too much fruit. It produces about 12-20 figs a year which is perfect.  A turkey fig is self pollinating, you don't need two to get fruit,  Figs are sweet and high in fiber m m good
20. mine BTF in PA died this winter...
