Glossy Purple Figs with High Sugar Content and White Flesh

'LSU Purple' displays glossy purple fruits that stand as a symbol of versatility, perfect for fresh enjoyment or drying. Medium-sized, each fig brings forth a subtle yet delightful flavor, accentuated by its high sugar content and white flesh. The fruit shows signs of ripening when the color changes from amber to burgundy, to deep purple, making harvest timing easy to determine. Born from the expertise of Louisiana State University, this tree's vigor and upright growth are testaments to its meticulous cultivation. Self-pollinating and reaching 8 to 12 feet tall, this variety is perfect for home gardens where fresh, sweet figs are desired.
