Nice photos. I noticed that you have bird netting over them. The birds don't seem to bother as much with mine. The greatest problem i've had are coons and possums. Maybe it's because they are all ganged up on the LSU Purples. Those things are bird magnets. Anyway,I hope that you will enjoy your LSU Golds as much as I am enjoying mine. This hot dry weather that we are finally getting has made them really sweet this year.

Ok guys. Here it is. Me and tina both agree this is the best fig we ever had. It has been very hot and dry for over a week. Very thick soft sticky inside with a very peachy flavor. After taste of a reaspoon full of honey. Now i see why collecting figs is so rewarding.

Lol, yes he did share it with me chris, :) and it was really good. I thought lsu purple was my favorite, but this one may be taking the lead. Although more sampling would help me in this decision. Lol

That looks good, I'll take a pic of mines, if the birds didn't get to it by the time I get home, the shape is the same but mines isn't as green as yours, it's a little more yellow . But I can tell you that it is one of the best. __________________ Ryan Zone 9a SeLa, wish list:

I think it could have gone 12 hours more. __________________ RICHIE BONI HICKORY LOUISIANA ZONE 8B WARM HUMID WINRERS ARE VERY MILD LOW 20'S BUT WARMS RIGHT UP DURING THE DAY.

Your purple looks tasty. Is the honey drop thick on the purple? Both look perfect. Bet you they are awsome. If you didnt eat them show insides Is your purple watery. Mine has no honey but wife loves it. Gold has honey that is thick like pine sap. And is by far my favorite. Its like candy almost __________________ RICHIE BONI HICKORY LOUISIANA ZONE 8B WARM HUMID WINRERS ARE VERY MILD LOW 20'S BUT WARMS RIGHT UP DURING THE DAY.

This is the first season I see the honey on the Lsu purple, those didn't make past the back yard, that's why I snapped pics of them in my hand, lol. __________________ Ryan Zone 9a SeLa, wish list:
