Growing LSU Figs

LSU Purple fig is a very reliable, prolific producer of early to late delicious figs. One of the best figs to come along for some time. Excellent for containers, producing early figs as soon as growth starts. Very acclimated to the fluctuating weather and does great in zomes 7-11. The figs are usually best to pick a few days after fruit turns black, wrinkles and elongates.

These are deciduous trees, meaning they will go dormant during the colder months, generally beginning late Fall through early Spring. If you are purchasing such tree during the tree's dormancy period, the tree will arrive either a) with leaves, but the leaves will fall off soon (pre-dormancy), b) with yellowing/browning leaves, and the leaves will fall off soon (dormancy starting), or c) without any leaves (tree already dormant). The plants will take off when the weather warms up.
