figs are tasteless! help

LSU Purple are watery and tasteless until they are several years old. Mine just started tasting reasonable at 4 years old.

I was fortunate last year. Who knows what will happen this year.

A common complaint with this variety. In time just about everyone likes it though.

The first few years I almost dug up our LSU Purple.

That would have been a big mistake, as now it is one of our best tasting and most productive figs.

Like a fine wine, the LSU Purple really does get better with age.

It is worth the wait.

So does this aging thing apply to LSU gold?  Just curious.  White wine does NOT age well!

It applies to all figs to a greater or lesser degree. LSU Purple is notorious though for this effect.
