This is LSU Gold and much to my surprise one was ripe and ready to pick, the ones in the pic are just starting to swell. Very nice sweet flavor. I noticed that they don't hang on the tree like most other figs, very short neck they just kinda sit there. The other is Dark Portuguese, also nice and sweet and a tad richer. The plated figs are the DP, LSU Gold and the 2 small figs are Bisirri Dark which were actually the best tasting of today's pickings. All 3 of these trees are on the side of my house right next to each other.

Thanks for the pics BLB. How would you describe the taste of the Bisirri? I also have Dark Port. and curious how it differs in taste with Bisirri
 Thanks,
  Peter

Peter, I am not the best for explaining different nuances of flavor, I just know what I like so with that in mind, I thought the Bisirri was a little richer and perhaps a tad sweeter than the Dark Portuguese, which was richer than the LSU Gold which was very sweet but maybe a little less figgy. Sorry that's the best I can do. I am much impressed with those who can detect strawberry or melon or some other such fruity taste and describe it so eloquently, guess they have a much more refined set of taste buds. 

Barry, is the eye on the LSU Gold tight or open?  The lower fig in the picture looks a little open  the one above it looks tight as a drum from this angle.

Jo Ann,

It is open, but not terribly so and so far no problems
