This Perfect Plants 1 gal. LSU Purple Fig Tree was produced in 1991 after many trials and errors to perfect this succulent fig tree! Feast your taste buds on the deliciously lush purple ficus carica fig! Named after the iconic fig breeding program at the Louisiana State University that has been around since the 1950s.The LSU Fig tree features closed eye, medium-sized fruit with white juicy flesh, and strawberry colored insides with high sugar content. This highly productive fig cultivar is a vigorous grower with an upright habitat. The dark purple fresh figs taste deliciously sweet and are sure to invigorate your senses. It's best grown in USDA hardiness zones 7-10.
