Ficus carica, or brown turkey fig, is a woody, deciduous shrub with edible fruit in the mulberry family. This cultivar is more cold hardy than others and grows to 10-30 ft. tall and wide. These like to be in full sun with organically rich soil (do not tolerate alkaline soils). Light pruning each winter may be necessary. Unlike most fruit trees, this plant produces without the need of pollination, so multiple plants are not required.
