Product description
Ficus Brown Turkey is a delightful, deciduous shrub with a bushy habit. More commonly known as the Common Fig, it will produce sweet and tasty fruit as the year progresses into the Autumn season. The bushy tree will show off its lovely green foliage alongside this, adding a rich shade of colour to any garden display or mass planting project. Watering the shrub should be carried out frequently as it establishes itself in its new surroundings, with those levels reducing as it settles in. In times of the year when there are plenty of hot and dry spells, however, you should make sure to water it quite regularly.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
