Whaaaaat, already? Awesome Richie! One of my favorites. Mine is loaded also but at least a month away from ripe! I picked a Brunswick beast Breba and I will go buy a scale before posting pics. Thanks for sharing !

Nice! The birds had a field day in my Lsu purple, I had bird netting just draped over the tree and this morning there was about 10 Eurasian doves under the netting and every fig that had turned colors was gone. I can't win, now that I think I beat the coons and opossums the birds come in like and army, lol. I thought those little birds only ate seeds but I guess I was wrong.

Count yourself fortunate to have tasty figs on an LSU Purple so quickly. My tree was started from a rooted sucker in 2011; it has grown beautifully and I've had to prune it to keep it in check. It's also quite prolific--but the best of its fruits have been "ho-hum" at best. I've kept it only because so many forum members have sung its praises and advised patience. It's loaded again, as usual, so maybe when they ripen, this will be the year. Here's hoping!

This is the year Ken. You have to be extra patient with them and let them wrinkle a bit on the tree.Let us know how they turn out.

I'm very much looking forward to tasting the LSU Purple. Mine is very young and will not produce this year. Have to wait until next year.

ChrisK, you may be right. The first few are starting to ripen, and they're a totally different shape than before--larger, and much rounder. If they taste good this time I'll post a picture.
