Fig - Brown Turkey (Seedling) ^7/10

Fig White Genoa (Cutting) ^10/10

Comments: -

Saw this at bunnings and quickly snapped it up. It was purchased as an advanced tree (250mm pot) about  2 years old and about 1.2m tall. 3 weeks later it has about 16 figs growing on it.  It has been transplanted in a 25L bucket in general potting mix ammended with compost, dolomite lime, sulphate of potash and dynamic lifter. I'll update on how the figs taste, size e.t.c.

Update:

The fruit is quite sweet, even sweeter if left for longer on the tree. The sie of the fig is around 85g in weight. The fruit are succeptible to splitting if it rains while they are on the brink of ripening. Great eating fig!

Fig White Adriatic (Cutting) ^10/10

Comments: -

Purchased May last year from Diggers and arrived in a bad way. Started picking up in spring but it really accelerated growth in December as this variety loves hot weather. I pinched the terminal buds to change it from a single stem to a dual branched tree and in the process stimulated it to produce 3 figs. 1 fell off but the other 2 have gotten quite big. Its growing in a 300mm pot and i will update once the figs ripen on its taste and growth habit.

Update: 
Pinching the growth tips encourages branching and produces a lot of fruit on this variety. The fruit is quite sweet and large about 90-100g. Highly recommended

Dwarf Fig - Brown (Cutting) ^10/10

Comments: -

I purchased this fig in Late November and planted it in a 300mm pot with a protting mix of 30-30-30% coconut coir, compost and potting mix and mixed with organic fertilizer and some lime. Within 3 weeks it started to produce figs as well as push new growth. I will update on the taste of the figs and and growth behaviour.

UPDATE:

So it has fruited! The fruit is medium size and quite sweet. The tree itself has doubled in height and still growing despite it having fruit on it. Highly recommended!

Fig - Brown Turkey (Cutting) ^9/10

Comments: -

This was my first fig tree. I was tired of purchasing bland figs (that are picked too early) from the store so i decided to purchase some fig trees. This one was purchased from Bunnings who inturn got them from Humphries nursery.  Potting mix is 30% coconut coir, 30%pootting mix and 30% compost. I mixed in with a handful of dynamic lifter and some blood and bone and planted it into a 300mm pot. 

Update (Oct 2016): The tree is rapidly growing and responds really well to charlie carp organic

Hi Figbarron, Since you have variety of different figs, wanted to know how they both compare with the quality of fruit. I got a brown turkey (planted in ground) this year, but heard that it has the least tasty fruit of all figs. Don't want to waste time and effort on a fig that it mediocre. Got a white adriatic and violette de bordeaux this year as well (both kept in pots). Regards, Devang.

Fig Deanna (Cutting) ^9/10

Comments: - There were only two fig types at bunnings, brown turkey and black genoa and wanted a bit more variety. I purchased this 2 year old bare-root fig tree from an online eBay nursery. Its supposed to have light greenish-yellow flesh and a tasty pulp. Its currently growing in a cut 200L drum. The cut drum is self watering and promotes healthier root system through air pruining. The fig has just started to produce some foilage. Potting mix is the same as my other figs. 1:1:1 coconut coir, potting mix and compost mixed in with dynamic lifter.

Fig Black Genoa

Fig Black Genoa (Cutting) ^9/10

Comments: - Just like my Brown turkey fig, this was also purchased from bunnings. It was badly affected by rust in late autumn due to wet and humid weather. It has come back with great vigour and was the first to break dormancy out of all my figs. Potting mix is the same as the brown turkey. I can't wait for it to start bearing.

Deciduous in winter.  Has produced a fair amount of fruit, but as the tree is still young it doesn't ripen properly.  Growing fairly rapidly.
