Key Points
Description: 'Brunswick' is a deciduous shrub with distinct, deeply-lobed dark green leaves resembling a hand shape. It produces large pear-shaped fruits with green-yellow skin. The flesh of the fruit is yellow with a red center, offering a deliciously sweet flavor.
Fruit Production: Typically, 'Brunswick' figs yield one crop of fruit per year, although in hot summers or with protection, they might produce two crops. The fruits are usually large, purple-flushed, and have a pear-like shape.
Hardiness: 'Brunswick' figs are hardy and reliable plants suitable for various climates in the UK. They tolerate cold and wet conditions well, making them ideal for outdoor growth.
Growing Conditions: Figs thrive in sunny locations, whether planted in the ground or pots. Adequate sunlight is crucial for their growth and fruit production.
Pruning: Regular pruning is recommended, especially for older, 'woody' plants, to encourage the growth of new shoots. Figs may release a white sap when pruned in spring or summer, which is not harmful but may cause skin irritation.
Maintenance: Pinching out strong growing tips in mid-summer helps in the development and ripening of the current crop, enhancing fruit quality.
Indoor vs. Outdoor Growth: Figs can be grown both indoors and outdoors, but they require sufficient sunlight for optimal growth and fruit production.
Container Growth: If grown in pots, ensure adequate drainage and space for root development. Figs grown in containers may need more frequent watering and occasional repotting as they grow.
Remember, while 'Brunswick' figs are hardy, they still benefit from proper care and maintenance to ensure healthy growth and bountiful fruit production.

Recycled Growing Media
At Lincs Plants, we’re proud to use a recycled, peat free growing mix that’s made right here in Lincolnshire. It’s made from coir with around 20% silt loam added in.
The coir keeps the mix light and free draining, while the silt loam adds structure and helps hold moisture and nutrients. By recycling used media and using locally sourced materials, we cut down on waste and reduce the need for imported peat based composts.
This home grown mix is part of our commitment to sustainable growing and supporting local production wherever possible.
At Lincs Plants, we operate from two main locations. When you place an order, we prepare and pack plants across both sites depending on what you’ve ordered.
Site 1 – Packing and Distribution

Oxygenating bunches
Loose lilies
Aquarium plants

We start processing orders each morning at 8am.

During our peak periods, we can process up to 3,000 orders a day across multiple departments. Each department either supports a main packing team or packs orders directly.
We have five collections a day, so orders can leave throughout the day as soon as they’re ready.
During busy times, if we experience any delays, we’ll post updates on our social media and website to give everyone a heads up. This helps keep customers informed if there’s likely to be a delay of a few days.
