Mature fig tree wanted

Farway

My fig trees came from Lild & Wilkinson, not named, guess Brown Turkey. I grew another from a cutting off the Lidl one

They fruit grow well, a bit sheltered

I have them in pots because around here, Hampshire, they get enormous left growing in the ground

Worth trying Money, nothing except a few quid to lose, and a lot to gain

Bilmey, you'd think money was living at Cape Wrath rather than in what one of her local estate agents describes as: "the early-growing coastal belt."


OK, they're probably talking potatoes, but I'm sure something will be possible!

Took a look at my biggest fig tree in the polytunnel today. Lots of nice fat, juicy figs there, despite The Beast that completely knackered some of my tenderish things in pots.

Meanwhile, outdoors, my accas are far from knackered, even the ones in pots. Mind you, I haven't had an acca since I stopped growing them next to the boiler outlet in a west-facing courtyard in Bath, but I remember them as very tasty.
