LSU Gold Information

Description
LSU Gold is one of the fig selections associated with the Louisiana State University AgCenter fig breeding program. LSU AgCenter material describes LSU Gold as a large yellow fig with light red to pink pulp, and AgCenter coverage notes that it is the largest-fruited of the LSU named selections discussed with LSU Purple, Tiger, Champagne, and O’Rourke.
Because LSU Gold ripens to a yellow-gold exterior, growers should judge ripeness by softness, hang, and eating quality rather than color alone. Regional performance should still be recorded separately because humidity, rain, tree age, and harvest timing can affect fruit quality.

2AngelsMushrooms From Zone 7 On May 10 2021
I have grown LSU Gold for about 6 years. It produces a nice-sized, honey-type fig. The fruit tastes like pears and honey, if ripened in dry weather. In rainy periods, the flavor will water down. In my zone, 7-B, I find this fig is better inground rather than a pot as it will be less impacted by rainy periods. I really like the flavor, so this one is a keeper for me. I have it both inground and potted.
