Fig ‘LSU Gold’ – Sweet Golden Fruit for Southern Gardens

Fig ‘LSU Gold’ is a productive, easy-to-grow fig selected by the Louisiana State University fig breeding program. This vigorous variety produces large yellow-to-gold fruit with light red to pink flesh and a sweet, honeyed flavor. It is especially well suited to warm, humid Southern gardens, making it a great choice for edible landscapes, home orchards, and large patio containers.

Plants grow best in full sun with well-drained soil and average moisture. ‘LSU Gold’ is self-fertile, so only one plant is needed for fruit production. Mature trees can become sizeable in the landscape, but they can also be pruned to maintain a more manageable shape for smaller gardens or container growing.
