Baby Cardinals decided to go up my fig branches biting 90% of the tiny pea sized Brown Turkey figs. I thought it was an insect doing it so I put bug dust on them. More formed and the birds bit them in half too. I finally stopped it by wrapping my two trees that produced this year. I put 4 more Celeste trees in the ground this March and have another cutting from the other in a pot. My trees have leaves that don`t match either fig type so who knows what they are. I got one ripe Brown Turkey so far and it was the sweetest fig I`ve ever tasted. I was expecting a very bad tasting fig after hearing all the big fig experts say it`s not worth growing. My 2 year old tree is already massive and a cutting from this year is already 8 feet wide and 4 feet tall and has fruits.
Tried a fig off my first Brown Turkey tree this year and it had a pleasant peach taste.
Hello Scott! I’m in zone 6b in New England and we usually plan our dormancy for after October! Maybe I understood you wrong? Thanks for sharing amigo!
