LaRadek Brown Turkey?

Thanks Timo, I just did a forum search and it does look similar. I am trying to decide if I should go for it. The seller seems good, he replied to me almost immediately and gave me what information he had.



You should be able to find a tree at a local nursery for $15:00 or find a local collector he might even give you something that is good in your area and at the same time make a fig friend .

Thanks Mario, sadly there isn't a good selection of figs in UK nurseries and virtually none in nurseries in Northern Scotland. I did see one last year, a Brown Turkey for just over £40 ($50) which was way too expensive for me.

I have had some nice cuttings from a couple of f4f members but they are not nearby. I have recently found a local member but he too is new to figs. Very few people here in Scotland grow them. I am trying to get figs that are not just cold hardy but able to cope with our short and mediocre summers. I bought a few small plants last year off ebay which look promising and also some nice ones from the Palmi nursery in Bulgaria.
