Here are some pics of a fruit from this first-year tree. If the weather cooperates, I can leave the fruit on longer and it turns deeper in color and more rich in flavor. Very good fruit, similar to a very good improved Celeste in flavor but definitely has its own character. 10 out of 10 for this variety in terms of flavor.

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.

Mario, that fig looks very tasty! Just wondering...its called LSU Red but its not very red inside. The outside gets more red with more maturing on the branch and how about the outside?

The inside stays close to that color and the outside darkens more. I believe it is called LSU red because it's red exterior. Its a fantastic fig in terms of flavor, texture, and growth.

It is hard to keep from eating this one long enough to take a picture.

The flavor should improve with age, that would make it off the scale. Congratulations, Mario.

Y'alls LSU Reds look exactly like the ones from my tree and yes, it is a good fig. It is not as large as my Improved Celeste though.
