Ficus carica 'Brunswick' is a hardy fig with strikingly large, deeply lobed dark green leaves shaped rather like a hand, giving it real architectural presence. It carries large pea r-shaped fruits with green-yellow skin and yellow flesh flushed red at the centre, sweet and richly flavoured. It is one of the better varieties for cooler districts. Fig flowers are hidden inside the fruit, so no blossom appears. 'Brunswick' is self-fertile. Grow in full sun in a warm, sheltered spot, ideally against a south-facing wall, on well-drained soil with the roots restricted to encourage fruiting. Fruit ripens from August into September, and pinching out shoot tips in early summer helps the crop ripen. Show more
