anyone want brown turkey cuttings?

SORRY!!  ALL GONE!!


I have a Brown Turkey tree that is a few years old.  I guess that means I grow Brown Turkey figs?  I gotta admit, I really don't like the taste, the tree is pretty much an ornamental on the north side of my house that produces fruit which my wife will eat, and I won't.

I wouldn't personally recommend anyone to grow this tree, but there are some people out there who like Brown Turkey figs....I'm just not one of them!

Yes, that method is well-defined here at this forum and GardenWeb.  It is also covered here:  http://figs4fun.com/basics_Rooting.html

If you need more info about the "improved" baggie rooting method, you will need to contact danab_z9_la at the Gardenweb forum and ask for him to provide that to you.

Good luck.

thank you soo much jason=]

You are welcome.  Here's a condensed version of what I do:  http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/show_single_post?pid=38919753&postcount=7

I may be interested!  I haven't tried Brown Turkey's before but wouldn't mind trying.  How much for the cuttings? :)

No cost. 

i would also like some to try if you  have any left .like to try and start some see what happens.

Jason,  I am thinking I should ban you from the forum for mentioning Brown Turkey. ;-))

Sooo, what is a "true" BT?
And for that matter, what is a true Celeste?

I have read that until recently (before of the current explosion/availability
of them many more fig names, these two figs
were the two mostly grown through the whole of our USA.

Also, that the BT's taste is on the bland side
while Celeste's is on the sweet end.

I also heard that these 2 names happen to be the most
used/abused (as default) names for (unkown) figs...

Sooo, what is a "true" BT?
The ones properly cooked Thanksgiving Day.


while Celeste's is on the sweet end.
She was sweet until she cheated when i was in my 20s and always working on call 24/7 and seen her board the train that i was actually driving at the time (long TRUE story)

But Gorgi speaking of fig plants your so right about the explosion of names in last several years i often find it hard to believe some of them.

Martin,

Funny you mentioned Thanksgiving...

One of my very first figs that I bought
some 20+ years ago, came as a BT.
I did notice that some of the fruit did
resemble our annual cooked turkey dinner (Thanksgiving).
Kind of a fat-brown-and-lop-sided shape thing, so I
then FIGured that is why it is called a Brown Turkey?

I turns out, that what I got was NOT a BT;
and "Turkey" stands for the country
(and not the bird!).

Time to RE-figure...

Sorry, afishpond, all cuttings got shipped this week.  I don't have any more branches that need pruning, all of my verticals, horizontals, downward branches and rub'ers are gone.

Afishpond, I can send you cuttings of Improved B.T. from Lowes if you like. Sergio.
