Hi

I am about to buy a Fig tree, any advice on which type to get would be very helpful?

One of the more hardy ones such as Brown Turkey.

Be carefull of the sap it makes me very sore indeed.

I bought one in the summer, can't recall the variety but it's orrible.  Bleugh!  Hope it's better once it gets going and has had some sun on the fruit

Cant help with a variety i'm afraid but i ate fresh figs for 1st time this year, wonderful! despite a strange texture!
Sad to say but only ever had fig biscuits before and hated them

Brown Turkey is the best variety for the British climate. Figs are fully ripe when the fruits are a dark reddy brown, are soft to the touch,  when they have a wonderful delicate flavour. The tree is best grown in a container, as the roots need to be restricted to encourage fruting.

Many Thanks - Sounds like its Brown Turkey I will be going for.
