LSU Scott's Black Fig Tree

LSU Scott's Black Fig is a variety developed by the Louisiana State University breeding program in the 1950s. This is a berry fig with an exquisite flavor. I find it to be one of the best-tasting figs in our entire orchard. Much like LSU Gold and LSU Tiger, LSU Scott's Black is a fast-growing fig variety that thrives in hot and humid conditions. The ripe figs are dark purple with a striking red interior at peak ripeness. It's not unusual to get a few figs off one of these trees in the first year of growth, but definitely expect to get them in the second year.
