Hi All,
Your Brown Turkey figs must grow a lot faster than they do in the U. K.

Richard M. Watkin.


You might just be surprised how fast things which grow so slowlu in the UK
will grow in a warmer climate. Here we have oak trees more than a metre in
diameter which are less than 100 years old. I grew a chestnut with a trunk
about 600mm in diameter in 20 years. My hazelnuts, much the same size as
those in the arboretum near Tetbury, are also only about 20 years old.
