My fig trees

I am attaching some shots of my two largest fig trees.  They are Brown Turkey figs I planted about 10 years ago.  When I planted the little bitty things, they looked plenty far away from the other trees!  I estimate they are about 8 feet tall and probably 12 feet in diameter give or take.  They are producing well right now.  I do have to compete with birds but we are eating figs everyday now.

The dog is my friend Puck who was helping me out.


Nice container full of figs!

Your Brown Turkey figs look splendid........Do they taste as good as they look?

Love the dog, the "Brown Turkey" figs, and the trees....in that order.  Scratch Puck's ears for me.

The figs are wonderful.  I must admit, not all that I pick make it to the house.  Some of them literally melt in my mouth.  I have incorporated figs in a couple of stir fry dishes, putting them in very last so they don't get cooked but a minute or two.  They added a rich, sweet taste to the dishes let me tell.  

My stir fry dishes are all one-of-a-kind based on what I have on hand at the time I make them.  I always try to corporate sweet-salty-and sour in every mixture.I add some kind of meat first (thus-cooked the longest) then the next item going in depends on what takes the next longest to cook it might be potatoes if that is my starch or onions.  Tomatoes are coming in now as well as eggplant so they are appearing in the recipes right now. The tender things like figs go in last.

Welcome to the forum

Max...welcome to the forum...it's amazing how much growth takes place in ten years...thanks for the pics.

Welcome, Max.  Good lookin' trees.  =)

Thanks everyone.  I drastically cut these guys back in the dormant season trying to keep them from getting too tall, to no avail!  oh well, the birds can have the ones I can't reach.

Welcome Max- great looking trees - huge ! Cute dog too!

   I think there's many good reasons why Brown Turkeys became so popular. That's a glorious tree and harvest'
