LSU Purple Fig

A prolific producer of medium-small purple skinned figs, with strawberry colored flesh having excellent flavor and sweetness. Flavor is very unique, notes of prune and a balance between creamy and tangy. It has a small eye making it resistant to spoilage and is very adaptable to container culture. Very popular in the southern states, it is also early ripening and can be grown in shorter season climates. A 1991 LSU release. Hardiness zones 7-10.
