Developed through Louisiana State’s advanced fig breeding program, LSU Gold yields abundant harvests of large, flat figs with yellow skin and honey-sweet amber to red flesh. It is specially selected for the humid Southeast, showing excellent resistance to spoilage, yet it also thrives in cooler areas due to its early ripening and resilience against late-season rain damage. Proven cold-hardy along the East Coast, LSU Gold is among the easiest figs to cultivate and offers a refined, flavorful experience that should be a staple for any discerning fruit grower.
