They should grow outside O.K. - my Brown Turkey stays out all year in a

I am in coastal Suffolk so people further north may not have as much
luck,
but ISTR the tree I had in Derbyshire grew O.K. (but didn't fruit).

I have both the Brown Turkey and Brunswick varieties and both of them
are very happy. I live in West Sussex about 1/4 mile from the sea and
they are placed in a corner in pots near a wall. My garden is south
facing and where they are positioned means that they get sun from early
morning until about midday. I also have a fig cutting from the
"Brunswick" coming along nicely too - the parent plant was getting a
little tall so my husband cut the top of, popped one end into rooting
powder and its taken.


I have brown turkey, planted straight into the ground. Heavy clay, north
facing about 5 miles from the Wash.Fruits well every year.
