LSU Tiger (giant Celeste)

Although it's not ready yet, a few more days, I took a picture for my records. The figs is of a good size and the tiger stripes are clearly visible. I did get to taste a few last year but not enough to really say how I like it. I remember it being good, that's all. Time will tell as I have quite a bunch of them this year.

Nice looking fig Gene, thanks for the photo. Is it a breba or main crop?

 Thanks,
  Pete

Pete this is a main crop fig. Here is a picture from last year. Tiger is on the left.

Gene,
 Your very lucky main crop and its only beginning of June! The interior is very nice looking. Thanks again for posting

Nice Gene. June figs! You can't beat that.

Does it produce 2 crops for you?  I see the date on the photo is from 10/11/2011.  Since October is 4 months away...

If it does it sounds like something I would like to try - 2 crops is better than 1!!

JoAnn, last year was it's first year in the ground and it put figs on late in the season. This year it got an early start so it is to be seen if it will put on a second crop.

Joe, figs do come early here. My Celeste is starting to ripen figs also. I picked about 6 so far.
