My LSU Gold figs are getting ripe, soft thin skin, large fruits very tasty, a 7 out of 10 on taste. I think this will be a keeper. David Bowling Green

David--how old is the tree? Is this the first year it has produced for you? Beautiful fruit.

It's interesting to see a pink flesh on LSU. Most that I have seen have an amber interior. Still looks very good.

Color varies with climate and soil, etc. Sweetness and flavor very much affected with temperature, as well, in my experience.
