So far my LSU purple has not been good. There must be more than 1 strain of this fig and I have the bad one. I think I will cut it down this fall and plant Figo
Preta. I have only had one small fig off of my tree, but wow it was good yea!

My LSU Gold has a Breba crop this year.

Only 1  stayed on long enough to ripen and it was almost as good as main crop.

Hi Vivian,
I have a Scott's Black that I planted a little over a year ago. It is full of figs and I think they will start to ripen in a couple of weeks. I'll let you know when they do. You can try some for your self and if you like them I'll give you some cuttings.

BTW I live in Lafayette near Broussard

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?

Thanks for the information. I thought the Italian Black is sort of a unique looking fig tree because it has white stems a couple of  red spots.  I will be looking you up in the fall to see what I can do to get a cutting from the Sicilian.

Hello,

I went to see Mr. Robin to buy my husband a Sicilian Black for a suprise Father's Day gift.  Mr. Robin had none to sell.  But I did find an Italian Black elsewhere.  Can anyone tell me more about this tree? Does anyone know where else I could find a Sicilian Black?  My husband really, really wants one and my kids would like to get him one for Father's Day.

For some reason I can't get my pics to upload.  I can email them to you if you put up a request.

Thanks!
