(Brown Turkey Fig) New to us, this is a compact deciduous shrub suitable for growing in a large container which has deeply cut, dark green leaves and plenty of tasty fruit each autumn.

The fruit takes up to 12 months to develop in the United Kingdom and are usually edible in August or September after the previous years flowering.

They grow and fruit most reliably when in a sunny position near a warm wall or fence as the reflected heat helps ripen the fruit in summer.

- Height: 1.5 - 2 m (5 - 6 ft) if left unpruned.
- Spread: 1.2 - 1.5 m (4 - 5 ft) if left unpruned.

Pruning: Prune in late spring to remove any frost damaged material and thin out new shoots to ensure that plenty of light will reach the inner branches. This will help stimulate fruit production.

Notes: Ficus carica 'Little Miss Figgy' should be planted with a restricted root run outdoors to encourage fruiting and reduce over development. This can be achieved by either planting it in a large container, or digging quantities of gravel, stone, old terracotta pots, etc into the planting site. If planted into a nutrient rich soil, fig trees will usually produce huge amounts of new growth, lush leaves and very little fruit.
