Notes:

The Brunswick Fig Tree is a top-tier French variety prized for its adaptability, cold and drought resistance, and sweet, high-quality fruit. It thrives in a wide range of soils and climates, making it ideal for beginner growers. Fruit ripens in two flushes: large, pear-shaped summer figs and smaller autumn figs with soft, sweet flesh. The tree is highly productive, with a short maturity cycle and long harvest window from July to October. Aside from fresh eating, Brunswick figs are excellent for drying, juicing, and processing into preserves or sauces. A versatile, marketable fig tree for home orchards or commercial use.
