Mine are also Brown Turkey Figs, but I’ve had some problems. Several different plants (2 Loquat, 2 Rose of Sharon, 1 grape, and a Wisteria)around the back of my house have died and one of the figs barely recovered. The other fig trees may be susceptible to “whatever” affected the other plants. We think it’s a fungus and have applied anti-fungal treatments. So far, so good, but the fruits are real small.

Sorry to hear about your plants dying .... our biggest problem this year has been a family of crows (2 adults, 5 juveniles) that have discovered the bush and as soon as a fig gets ripe, they are on it! The last time I chased them off, they sat in a nearby tree and fussed at me while I picked off all the figs that were showing any color .... the figs continue to ripen in the house, especially if I don’t refrigerate them. Our bush is definitely improving with age ... bigger & better crops the larger it grows with year being the best so far.
