Going to the lsu fig sale tomorrow. Its in hammond louisiana. Hoping to get the jack lily. They had a picture up of about 200 potted figs.

Only 200?  I hope you get there early, and good luck on jack lily!

Good Luck Richard,
Please take some pictures for us to see

What's Jack Lily?

I am going to take pictures of everything there. They suppose to have super plants there that they bred. Not sure what that is though. Jack lilly is a fig that they created at the center. Like tiger st gabriel. Etc.

Sounds like a party. Have fun and good hunting Richard.

Lucky U Richard. The Jack Lily is an awesome tasting honey fig variant. Let us know what variants are available.
I might go next year. I have faith on LSU variants.

I didnt even know much about the jack lily. Only that i didnt have it. Thanks everyone for your kind words. Will post pic while i am there. Richie

Sounds like so much fun! Enjoy it and good luck finding your Jack Lily fig!

looks like a similar event at the ag center on the main campus in BR

I went to a "drought friendly plant sale...native stuff only," and was shocked at the turnout.  We had to park in way the &%$@!!! in East Egypt and walk forever!  Getting there early is good!  Can't wait to hear about your visit!
