Hello to everyone! I like the taste of my Brown Turkey so much. Therefore, today I came back to the nursery where I bought my Brown Turkey. I got there at 1:30 pm. Guess what a person below bought all 4 Brown Turkey trees that the nursery had left. Two of which are identical to my tree and the other 2 Brown Turkey trees are bigger and larger than mine, but the leaves are different from my Brown Turkey. Surprisingly, I saw only one nearly ripe fig on one of the large Brown Turkey trees. That fig had a shape like a regular Celeste, but the size was smaller than a regular Celeste. Its diameter was just little smaller than a quarter. It had a blackish red skin with red pulps. It had sweet taste, but not a lot because it was not fully ripe yet. Good luck to the person below.

Hello! Everyone,

This is Chris Black. This one was much better than the one pictured above. It had mostly figgy flavor with very sweet, crunchy, jammy taste. The skin was a little chewy. If this tree were growing in the ground, I am sure it will produce excellent figs.

Your pictures are amazing,  excellent close up shots with clarity. I'm thinking your Brown Turkey was mislabeled, it seems to me the color and shape don't match most BTs I've seen

Barry: Thank you very much. Dennis also told me that my Brown Turkey was mislabeled.

Hi! Everyone,

This is the Negretta fig that I just picked this morning. It had a sweet, jammy and a little berry flavor. Thanks for watching.
