Type: Common Fig (Does Not Require Pollination)
Turquie 2 is a distinctive French fig variety prized for its large fruit, unusual foliage, reliable production, and excellent flavor. Although not as widely known as some classic French cultivars, it has earned a strong following among collectors due to its combination of attractive fruit and dependable performance.
One of the first things growers notice about Turquie 2 is its unique foliage. The tree produces large, highly ornamental leaves that often feature seven deep lobes with long finger-like projections and serrated edges. These striking leaves make the tree an attractive landscape specimen even when not carrying fruit.
The fruit is large and elongated with a pronounced neck, placing it among the “Longue d’Aout” type figs. As the figs ripen, the skin develops a rich dark brown coloration that contrasts beautifully with the fruit’s elegant shape.
Despite its impressive size, Turquie 2 maintains excellent eating quality. The flesh develops a sweet, pleasant flavor with noticeable berry notes that become more pronounced as the fruit reaches full maturity. The combination of sweetness, size, and texture makes it an excellent fresh-eating fig.
One of the reasons Turquie 2 has gained popularity among collectors is its ability to perform well in a variety of climates. The variety is known for relatively early ripening and dependable fruit production, allowing growers in cooler regions to enjoy quality harvests where later-ripening varieties may struggle.
The tree is productive, adaptable, and easy to grow under standard fig culture. Given full sun and well-drained soil, it rewards growers with attractive crops of large fruit and excellent flavor.
As a common fig, Turquie 2 does not require pollination and produces fruit reliably in areas where the fig wasp is not present.
Its combination of unique foliage, large fruit, early ripening characteristics, and pleasant berry flavor has helped establish Turquie 2 as a desirable collector variety.
For growers seeking a distinctive French fig with large fruit and reliable performance, Turquie 2 is an excellent addition to any collection.
USDA Zones 7-10
Don’t let the growing zones discourage you. Fig trees can be successfully grown in containers and many growers enjoy fresh figs well outside the recommended zones. Growing in a pot allows you to move the tree to a protected location during winter and control its size. With proper care and winter protection, many fig varieties can be grown and fruited outside their listed growing zones.
During the winter months, cuttings will typically be fully dormant.
During the fall, cuttings may still be lignified (hardened woody growth) and may not yet be fully dormant. This is normal and does not affect their ability to root.
Wood color, thickness, bud spacing, and appearance will naturally vary from cutting to cutting. Certain varieties naturally produce thinner or thicker wood than others.
Rooting instructions are included in the listing photos. Please review them before purchasing.
Rooting success depends on many factors including temperature, humidity, rooting method, growing medium, sanitation, and grower experience.
While fig cuttings are generally considered easy to propagate, no rooting success can be guaranteed. Even experienced growers may experience occasional losses.
Most growers can expect a rooting success rate of approximately 60% to 80% under proper conditions. Individual results may vary.
Because rooting conditions are beyond our control after delivery, we cannot offer refunds, replacements, or credits for cuttings that fail to root.
Cuttings are carefully packaged to help ensure they arrive in excellent condition.
