Planted this one in ground in late April. It is now 9 foot tall. It definitely likes louisiana. Taste is just perfect. Sweet creamy and berry flavored very late on ripening but its just from being newly in ground tree Attached Images 2015-10-16_20.27.33.jpg (214.47 KB, 38 views) 2015-10-16_20.28.01.jpg (224.25 KB, 39 views) __________________ RICHIE BONI HICKORY LOUISIANA ZONE 8B WARM HUMID WINRERS ARE VERY MILD LOW 20'S BUT WARMS RIGHT UP DURING THE DAY.

Nice, since they're just ripening does that mean they were baby figs when you got it, or they formed after?

I,m chopping down a maple tree in my front yard to make room for one of these. Seems to be a healthy, reliable, and tasty variety. Thanks for sharing. __________________ Wish list: Galicia Negra, Violetta, Violette de Sollies, Dan_la's Black Beauty 10, Craven's Craving, Most important: YOUR FAVORITE FIG. A lot of people put emphasis on popular/exotic cultivars, which is great because it highlights some of the better fig varieties; however, I am most interested in the figs our members love regardless of pedigree. Currently Growing: a bunch of varieties.

Mario. It is super fast grower Bahamaden it was planted in early may this year as a one foot tall plant.... It is now 9 feet tall. Fastest grower out of all lsu figs. Being that it was planted in may it is off scedule on ripening.
