They are easy to root so if you know someone that has one, they can take a branch down to the ground, weigh it down, and place soil over the branch. It will take root and then you can cut if from the main and plant it. As for taste, very yummy! http://garden.secretcorners.net/2010/08/27/back-garden-fig-bush-ficus-carica-brown-turkey#c140 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 19:10:41 +0000 Robert [Visitor] c139@http://garden.secretcorners.net/ I think I’ve seen that very fig. If you tell me they are common…I may snatch one off a particular specimen I’ve seen… http://garden.secretcorners.net/2010/08/27/back-garden-fig-bush-ficus-carica-brown-turkey#c139 Tue, 19 Oct 2010 18:04:32 +0000 kimberly [Member] c80@http://garden.secretcorners.net/ I was talking to a woman tonight at Lowe’s Home Improvement about growing figs. She was from the north and I explained to her that they would freeze back to the ground each year in the north and is why she never saw them growing up north. http://garden.secretcorners.net/2010/08/27/back-garden-fig-bush-ficus-carica-brown-turkey#c80 Tue, 19 Oct 2010 18:01:06 +0000 Ron [Visitor] c79@http://garden.secretcorners.net/ I love figs! They taste so good and they are easy to grow if watered adequately. I don’t know the variety names of those I have, but they are growing very well here in coastal Texas. http://garden.secretcorners.net/2010/08/27/back-garden-fig-bush-ficus-carica-brown-turkey#c79
