I think Brown Turkey is so popular because it grows really fast. When I moved to Wake Forest, NC, I had 5 different varieties -all about 1' tall- and the Brown Turkey grew bigger than all but one (Black Mission). I like the taste of Brown Turkey figs but not nearly as much as I love Black Mission, Celeste, LSU Gold. BTW, Black Mission is a CA fig and you have to protect it from our cold winters in NC. (BRRRR!, 23 deg last night)

Here is a pic of a main crop Black Mission. Brevas are a little bigger.
