The LSU gold I am familiar with are large and flat.  But I see pictures posted all over the internet that look very different.  Is it possible there are two different strains?

My pix are at http://figs4fun.com/Thumbnail_LSU_Gold.html

They seem pretty consistent with the few pix I have seen.

I'm certainly not questioning Jon's LSU Gold figs, but I have to say that the "average" shape of the figs in Jon's pictures is definitely not the average shape of LSU Gold figs.  The vast majority of figs on my LSU Gold trees are MUCH flatter in shape than those in Jon's pictures.  I just went and looked today.  There are indeed a few figs on the trees that are not so flat, but 75-80% of the figs on my trees are distinctively very flat.

Here's the typical shape of an LSU Gold fig.  I borrowed this picture, but I don't think the owner would mind it being used only to illustrate what this fig looks like.

Thanks so much for all your replies!  I went out and found one!  We already picked two figs :0)

Hi Isthisme

Where did you get your LSU Gold?

Hi Martin,
>>>Where did you get your LSU Gold?
A very GOOD question indeed, SPECIALLy for those boasting of having
multpile 'versions' of IT.

I got my only LSU Gold from (SSE-LA MC R 06).

George it was me (Cecil) that asked the question "where did you get your LSU Gold")
But thanks anywho

I got it at a local nursery in Broussard, Louisiana called Girourd's.. they had 2 more that I saw.

Ok thanks Serena

Many thanks everyone!

George, No problem on the wrong name......I've been called a lot worse.
