Here are pictures of my LSU Scott's Yellow tree and ripe fruit. I've used Gino's and Dark Portuguese figs for size comparison. Those of you who grow Scott's Black should recognize its relation to it and their Celeste mother.

This is one great tasting fig folks.......the brebas are excellent too!!  This tree comes from a private source and not from James Robin. I have no idea if JR's LSU Yellow (AKA Brandy) fig is the same as this cultivar. FYI, there are quiet a few "yellow" fig selectiions from the LSU breeding program in existence. IMO, this particular one may not have been officially released because of the sugar spots.  Its sibling figs, LSU Gold, is much "prettier" in comarison........some folks like PRETTY for marketing purposes. I like flavor and productivity.....and this fig has both.

My tree just went through an extended severe drought and is now in its second flush. There should be a nice second crop to follow. A normal rainy weather pattern will make this tree look nice again. IMO, this cultivar MIGHT make an excellent breba producing fig tree in cold climates.

Woof, that SY looks good.

Since I've never seen a Gino's, or Dark Portuguese fig, it doesn't tell me about the size, but it does resemble the SBlack I had last season, but this SY looks even better.

Good luck with the second flush of your poor little tree.

Dan what fig would you compare it to in size?

Dan,

Thanks for posting the photos of Scott's Yellow.

Yes, that is sugar cane field and it does well under dry conditons. I live right smack dab in the middle of sugar cane fields. I own stock in two sugar cane plantations......so I don't mind. And right down the road is a trial field of Perique Tobacco.......which is a very rare type of tobacco that is used to produce specialty pipe tobacco blends. Tobacco blenders have bought futures for this rare tobacco for many years to come. The demand far exceeds the supply so the plantation is trying to grow some. 

Ed, that fig is a little smaller than a LSU Gold fig. It is about the same size as LSU Scott's Black or the same size as Robin's Sicilian Black.......which is about a medium sized fig.

Dan, thanks for posting pic's of Scott Yellow. I see similar shape characteristics of SY with LSU Gold.
