The Ficus carica 'Brunswick' or 'Brunswick' fig is a type of fig tree known for its large, deeply-lobed leaves and flavorful pear-shaped fruits. Here are some key points and tips for growing 'Brunswick' figs:
Description: 'Brunswick' is a deciduous shrub with distinct, deeply-lobed dark green leaves resembling a hand shape. It produces large pear-shaped fruits with green-yellow skin. The flesh of the fruit is yellow with a red center, offering a deliciously sweet flavor.
Fruit Production: Typically, 'Brunswick' figs yield one crop of fruit per year, although in hot summers or with protection, they might produce two crops. The fruits are usually large, purple-flushed, and have a pear-like shape.
Hardiness: 'Brunswick' figs are hardy and reliable plants suitable for various climates in the UK. They tolerate cold and wet conditions well, making them ideal for outdoor growth.
Growing Conditions: Figs thrive in sunny locations, whether planted in the ground or pots. Adequate sunlight is crucial for their growth and fruit production.
Pruning: Regular pruning is recommended, especially for older, 'woody' plants, to encourage the growth of new shoots. Figs may release a white sap when pruned in spring or summer, which is not harmful but may cause skin irritation.
Maintenance: Pinching out strong growing tips in mid-summer helps in the development and ripening of the current crop, enhancing fruit quality.
Indoor vs. Outdoor Growth: Figs can be grown both indoors and outdoors, but they require sufficient sunlight for optimal growth and fruit production.
Container Growth: If grown in pots, ensure adequate drainage and space for root development. Figs grown in containers may need more frequent watering and occasional repotting as they grow.
Remember, while 'Brunswick' figs are hardy, they still benefit from proper care and maintenance to ensure healthy growth and bountiful fruit production.
