Planting Brown Turkey Fig on a Windy Ridge in East Tennessee

Brown Turkey figs are resilient – they handle Florida’s summer storms. On your ridge, loosely stake at planting so the trunk can flex without uprooting. Once established, wind is not a concern. The southeast exposure is fine; occasional southwest/northwest gusts won’t harm a staked young tree.
